July 4th Golf Cart Convoy???
 
How many peeps are going to join Handi's convoy??

Are there any golf carts going with one person? Does any one need a cart to ride in??

Donna

Would you please outline the exact plan for the day/evening?

Re: July 4th Golf Cart Convoy???
 
Bright,

I think Handi would be the one to map our path out..I guess it also depends on if they are going to have the fireworks...

Hopefully we will get some info from this post.. :bigthumbsup:

I'm borrowing a cart and will have wiw with me. I know coleenj will be down for the 4th but I have no idea if she plans to join us. If she does, she will need a cart or a ride.

Ron and Pete will be in the convoy. No puter access for them until next week.

Anyone know what the plan is re food, drinks? Handie had originally said something about bringing drinks, snacks (at least I'm assuming snacks). Snacks for the group or just for individual carts? Drinks are gonna be a problem since we're meeting earlier for Rocky. Which brings up the next question -- what time are we meeting and where?

Here's Handie's post about the convoy and where it will start, etc.

Can we confirm fireworks? I hear that many were cancelled and I searched...to no avail. Those going to SS will head to LSL around 8-8:30? Curious.

I think this is a more recent thread about the convoy:

In discussions with Dicky and Villager07, it has been decided to leave LSL town Sq at 8:30 and travel up Canal all the way to Truman Rec center. Those attending Rocky, as I may do for awhile, should adjust their leave time at SS accordingly. I have not kept up with the local news on who is and who is not having fireworks. Could someone help me here. I will have a cell phone on all during the 4th. I can be reached at 352-391-2577 or at our villa at 352-350-7373

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...on/8_14_71.gif Leesburg is having a fireworks display at Venetian Gardens. That's the only one I can find so far that is relatively close. Tavaras and Mt. Dora are also having displays but not sure if they can be seen from here.

Convoy forms at Sweetbay parking lot 9:00 PM traveling to Truman Rec Center via Canal Street. Bring folding chairs, umbrella :'(, snacks, BYOB, camera, Dicky says approx. 15 minute ride to the Rec center from LSL. Those folks down in SS watching Rocky, allow 15 minutes. Del Mar is closed at the SQ, however go around the tent and head up Del Mar. Turn right on Rio Grande then left on Morse under the tunnel at 466 left to the bridge then right into Sweetbay
Cross your fingers for clear Sky's
Handie :joke:
PS: A short reply if your joining would be helpfull

So, are we turning this into a tailgate thing with food or no? I know that was the original plan, but not sure what it is now.

Hi all,

I'm new to your talk. Can we join you tonite too? : :bigthumbsup:

renielarson 07-04-2008 02:14 PM

Re: July 4th Golf Cart Convoy???
 
nanacee...of course! Always looking forward to meeting new people!

Fireworks in Leesburg begin at 9pm. Other towns that have fireworks are also beginning at 9. If we don't leave Sweetbay until 9, will we make it to Truman in time to get settled and watch whatever there is to watch?

Well, Red, I'm bringing those Bloody Mary tomatoes (they've been soaking almost 24 hours now :yikes:) and marinated mozzarella cubes.

Donna 07-04-2008 02:29 PM

Re: July 4th Golf Cart Convoy???

Re: July 4th Golf Cart Convoy???
 
Sounds like we need to leave Sweet Bay by at least 8:30 so we're settled for the fireworks. Handie???

I'm bringing a couple of camp tables to put stuff on. I'll be making some ham roll-ups (they will be refrigerated while we're playing at Spanish Springs). BJ said she'll get some brownies.

So, who else is bringing food?

Barb

I had a wonderful time tonight. We met at the Truman Rec Center, watched fireworks, talked with old friends and met new ones, lit sparklers, drank a little (well, some of us did but not all...alcohol that is) and enjoyed appetizers. Hopefully this is the first year of a tradition.

I'm looking forward to seeing pics too...but there better not be any bad ones posted of me....lol.... ;D

Wish you could have been there, Barb.

mcelheny 07-05-2008 10:54 AM

Re: July 4th Golf Cart Convoy???
 
Thanks to everyone. It was so nice to meet people. Especially thanks to Donna who introduced me to so many new friends and she is just as sweet in person as she is on the computer.
I have a special connection to Dicky's brother and that was the icing on the cake. So once again "thanks to all" and have a happy 5th of July! :bigthumbsup:

Sounds like you had another GREAT time!! Count us in for next year! Can't wait to see pictures. (We'll be right around the corner from Truman Center, should be able to find it ;) ).

I wish to thank everyone who showed up (I counted 30 plus) and all the gals who contributed food (horses dervies), candles, napkins, desserts, snacks etc
I hesitate to names names for fear of leaving someone out but, Brightspot, Redwitch, and Chelsea are some on the names who worked hard. God gave us a beautiful evening and great friends to share it with. I think a good time was had by all. Village 07 for the idea and Dicky for route planning. Donna for being the hostess with the "mostess" This group knows no boundaries :bigthumbsup:
Handie :joke:

Thanks to Mrs.Handi for her patience with all of us..The Chat Pack Asylum Crew... :yikes:
