Donna and I have been discussing this for days and it was very hard to come up with a logical, easy route and yet have some fun together. Going to people's houses meant that most of the time we would be in the carts and be spending only about 10 min. in each house. A very disjointed plan and not conducive to having fun and costume contests, etc.

So we put our heads together and spoke to Mr. Handie and he concurred that since July 4 was such a successful venture, we would duplicate the event with some minor changes.

First, we'll all meet in our carts in the parking lot behind the Sales Center in LSL so that we won't be interfering with a public parking lot. There we will start the contest on voting for the best cart decorations and costumes. We may even play games (Handie, how about spin the bottle?? Or Strip Poker??) kidding... of course.

Then we will proceed by caravan up to Truman Rec center parking lot again (or another place if someone has a suggestion). There we will have the tailgate party and anyone who was going to host at their house can bring the finger food to the Truman parking lot and we can party there until the wee hours (probably 9:30 pm, kidding again)....

So, right now, that's the plan, its not in stone, but just our thoughts at the moment.
