JoCo Holiday Lights Drive, Saturday Dec. 19th

[ragtopday Johnna]

For those looking for a weekend option (or those wanting both a weekend and weeknight gathering), we'll have a Holiday Lights drive in Johnson County on Saturday, December 19th.

This drive will visit sixteen addresses known for their holiday lights. A detailed map and route will be provided to each driver, as it may be difficult to stay together throughout the entire route. This drive will have a gimmick rally element. A few questions and puzzles about things you will see along the way will be included with your map. And thanks to club sponsors, we've got prizes for those with the most questions answered correctly!

We will meet at 6 P.M. at Baron on Saturday, December 19th. The drive should take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on how heavy traffic is around the light displays and how long you would like to view each exhibit. We'll end at a coffee house, location will be listed on your map.

RSVP and include number of people in your MINI/Mini please.

Yay! It will be great to see you! Will you have the Dragon Wagon in tow? Perhaps a quick conversion to Hot Chocolate Dispensary could be made?

[Zyamfier]

Sorry, No the Dragon Wagon is in winter storage till at least March. It will be good to see all of you again as well. Looks like Hydie will be attending as well. So that makes 2 in my MINI.

[Minidave]

Hey Jim, we'll see you there too. We met you at the South Dakota trip this past spring..........

Dave & Rose

[rarerover]

I did a test run of Saturday's route this evening and it took about two hours, including stops. Here's a look at one of the locations on the route:

See y'all Saturday!

[Counterfit_Mini]

Wow that house is awesome! David and I will be at this event.

[sundance]

If all goes well with our family Christmas party earlier in the day, we will be there. I may even break the GP out of the garage if it's warm-ish because it needs to be driven soon.

See you all there.

[saturn]

One MINI, two maybe three people for this one.

[ragtopday Johnna]

If you have two-way radios, please bring them to Saturday's drive.

Your own GPS system may prove useful, too. The route includes the address of each location, so if you get separated from the pack, you can easily find your way to another point along the route. It is unlikely we will all stay together in traffic but re-grouping may happen from point to point along the way.

The drive will take two+ hours-ish. Our end point is Dunn Bros. Coffee at 8975 Metcalf in Overland Park. We should be there around 8:30 if you would like to meet us there and skip the drive.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and their MINIs all dressed up for the holidays tomorrow!

[cdecker78]

Can you post the Addresses so I can preload them in my GPS?

[ragtopday Johnna]

Can you post the Addresses so I can preload them in my GPS?

I will be at Baron at 5:45 with a list of addresses if you'd like to preload your GPS then.
