Holiday Lights Drive, Thursday December 12th, 6 PM

Post by ragtopday Johnna »

UPDATE:
Let's go to Longview Lake for a Lights Drive!

We will meet at 6 PM on Thursday, December 12th at Heartland Nursery, 10300 View High Drive, KCMO 64134. We'll depart about 6:15 (any later and we will sit in traffic for a long time to get into the park).

It's free to drive through Christmas in the Park. At the end, they collect donations for local charities.

Afterwards, we can meet at one of two places. There is Gusto Coffee and Bistro (open til 8) and Next Door Pizza and Pub (open til 10). Both are right at the exit from the lights drive. Y'all let me know which one sounds good, we'll go with a majority vote, and I'll let the business know how many are coming.

See y'all on the 12th!

Is anyone interested in going on a holiday lights drive this year?

We've done two things in the past: Longview Lake and a route through some of the best residential displays in JoCo.

If you're interested, would you share which option sounds best to you and what night of the week works best? Thanks![/b]

We would be interested. Longview Lake is good since we don't have to follow each other on a route to each house. We always seem to get seperated from the pack by a light or bad directions and end up by ourselves at the end. A Sunday evening works best for us.
