A Southern Indiana Catholic Church is Raffling a 1966 Corvette Convertible

Saint Bernard Catholic Church

Prince had a big hit in the early '80s with the song "Little Red Corvette." Well, here's your chance to slide behind the wheel of a blue one! The annual Saint Bernard Summer Social is coming up on Sunday, August 18th and the main attraction is a raffle. The prize is a 1966 Corvette convertible. Oh, and there's a chance to win some cash too.

The Saint Bernard Summer Social will be held on the church grounds at 6th and Pearl Street in Rockport, Indiana. Naturally, there's going to be food and a lot of it. The church will be selling 'faux turtle soup." There will also be homemade fried chicken, roast beef dinners, and homemade dumplings available too. You can choose to dine in the St. Bernard gym (it's air conditioned) or you can carry it out. Serving starts at 11am!

When I said there would be lots of food, I wasn't kidding. There is also a huge outdoor food court that features burgers, brats, tenderloins, and soup by the bowl. There will also be homemade ice cream for dessert.

In addition to food, there will be games for all ages. Those games include a cake wheel, money wheel and various games for kids.

But, like I mentioned earlier, the star of the show is the collection of raffles taking place. There's a big money raffle that features a grand prize of $1000 and a second prize of $500. There's also a quilt raffle, grocery raffle, canopy raffle, Adirondack chairs raffle and  . . . the main event . . . the 1966 Corvette convertible raffle.

All raffle drawings will be held at 3pm CDT. If you'd like to purchase tickets for the Corvette raffle in advance, you can do so now by calling 812-649-9113. Tickets are $30 a piece or you can buy four tickets for $100.

From scandalous bikini calendars to your dad's AMC Gremlin, '80s garages were a treasure trove of adventure, good fun, and sometimes downright danger.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
