174th Annual Christmas Lights Drive, Saturday Dec 20th 5:45

Post by ragtopday Johnna »

It's not really the 174th, but I've lost count of how many years we've driven through Christmas in the Park at Longview Lake.

We'll meet at 5:45, departing at 6 from the parking lot of Heartland Nursery, 10300 View High Drive (I-470 and View High Drive, south side of 470). We'll drive through the display together and meet up for pizza and/or beverages afterwards at Next Door Pizza and Pub.

Driving through the lights display is free. At the end, they will accept donations for local charity.

An RSVP would be great. See y'all soon!

We were just wondering about a lights drive. We'll be there! We are flexible on the after party.

So happy to be a part of something so steeped in tradition that it has been going steady for 174 years!

Will be there with my +1.

We both love coffee and pizza and are prone to flexibility.

I made a reservation for everyone who has RSVP'd at Next Door Pizza and Pub, which is right as we are leaving the lights. If you are not going to stick around for pizza or a beverage afterwards, please let me know. See y'all tomorrow night!

Here is the RSVP list that I have. If you aren't on the list, please feel free to join us for the drive. Seating at the pizza place will be on your own though, as I was only able to obtain a reservation for 20 people. The pizza place will do their best to accommodate more than 20, but no promises.

Johnna +1
Laurie
Seth +1ish?
Diane S
Cathy V. +1
Wayne W. +1
Pat P. +1
David G. +1
Damian L. +3
Stephanie +1

If you are on the MAYBE list on FB or have not RSVP'd there or on the forum, I haven't included you in the reservation for the restaurant. I'm open to hearing ideas on how we can better get solid numbers for events like this when we need to make reservations. :D

Thanks for coming out last night, y'all! And big thanks for your patience. Boy howdy, that was one heckuva wait to get in. I vote we return to our weeknight visit next year.

Happy holidays and safe travels to those of you motoring out of town this week!
