Poison Ivy Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 RVA MINIs has extended an invitation to DCMM to join them for their 3rd Annual Parade of Lights. When: Saturday Dec 6th at 4:30pm Where: Sedona Taphouse Midlothian 15732 WC Main Street Midlothian, VA 23113 https://www.facebook.com/events/568412869926757/ The following details are from the Facebook Event Invite: It's the Third Annual Parade of Lights! Richmond is known for some of the most over the top (also known as Tacky) Holiday houses, and we're cherry picking the best ones! Once again, we'll be starting out at Sedona Taphouse Midlothian for an early dinner starting at 4:30 PM. If you can't make dinner, please plan on arriving at 6:00 pm. We'll discuss the route and any late breaking changes in a quick drivers meeting, then wheels up around 6:15 pm. Get in the spirit and get creative with some external lighting of your own! Since the group gets bigger every year - logistics becomes a bit more challenging. It's HIGHLY recommended that you bring a FRS/GMRS radio capable of dialing in on channels and privacy codes (most modern FRS/GMRS do this) as we'll be using channel 7-21. We're very likely to get separated at the more popular houses and will need to regroup. Once again, we're saving the "coup de gras" of Windsor Court for the final house. That way we can park, ooh and aah, take pictures and videos, then meet at Gelati Celesti for some awesome italian ice cream. I will post the addresses of our cherry-picked stops in advance so you can pre-program your GPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Last year was fun but the traffic was a killer. I almost feel like going to Richmond on a Saturday could be easier than a weeknight south of DC Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDG_RCR Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Anyone planning on doing this? Sara and I have it marked on our calendar. Should we set up the caravan down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Mark doesn't want to buy if enough people to I might go along. It's after the parade and I'm kind of worried is too much for one day, but if I can ride along with someone then that would work.

We may have a full car if Sara K. and Duane come along, but if not, we will have a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
