The party was great fun. It was by the pool, pleasant and breezy once the sun started to go down. There was tons of hors-d'oeuvres type food, as predicted plenty for dinner. We sat and talked with Dave and Irene Major (Aerocar), and Bonnie and Robert Blue (Women Who Rock and Fat Rat). Mostly we talked about art car events around the country. We also chatted some with Carolyn (Stink Bug) and Becky (Wheels of Imagination). Dave and Irene have been to tons of events and have great stories to tell. They made me wish so much that I could take the whole summer off and just do art car events!
We got our packet with the parade route and instructions on where to park tomorrow. They have us kind of spread out around the town. I think because the point is to bring foot traffic to the local businesses, so they want the cars parked in front of as many stores as possible. There are more cars here than I had expected: over 20! I thought there would be only half that.
Georg and I had intended to stroll around Mount Dora this evening, but the town seemed to be pretty much closed up. So we're chilling in the hotel room. The local PBS station is showing some old Frank Sinatra special from 1973. Right now Sinatra and Gene Kelly are singing a duet and doing a little dancing. I have to say, even in 1973 those two guys still had it.
Tomorrow morning we have to be at the children's home by 9:30. It looks pretty close to the hotel, so I think we can safely leave at 9:15. Tomorrow is a long day, so I may not post photos until Sunday. We'll see how it goes.
