I received this email from the organizer of Mt Dora 3rd Thursday nights:
Come on over to the Mount Dora Cool HOEDOWN Car Show next Thursday, Sept. 20, from 5-9 in downtown Mount Dora. Put on those tight fitting jeans, western shirt, and cowboy hat (or cowgirl hat) and look for tons of fun. There will be at least two bands performing, the Blackwater Creek Bluegrass Band at 3rd Ave and Donnelly St. and the 2A.M. Band playing contemporary rock at 4th Ave and Baker St., both in the general area of the car show. A list of restaurants with their specials and the prices will be in your goodie bag for those wanting to have dinner at the show. Talk about door prizes. As with the June show, these aren't your typical car show prizes of cleaning cloths, polish, etc. No way. These are from your downtown Mount Dora merchants and are they neat. How about a 14 karat gold slide (like a pendant) for a necklace, a $100 value. Like to eat out, there are 2 brunch certificates to the Lakeside Inn. For the golfer in you, a 15" golf player statue. There are several bottles of wine, 2 gift baskets with a $75 value in each, and 2 books for Florida adventures travel just to name a few others. Many of the downtown merchants will be open for business for those who like to look through the varied and unique stores they have. It's a HOEDOWN CAR SHOW so make plans now to attend and you won't be disappointed. I will give directions to the downtown area next week but for those of you familiar with the area, it's a block each way from 4th Ave. and Donnelly St, right in the heart of downtown. Can't make it by 5? Don't worry. There will be plenty of parking and you are welcome whenever you can make it. If you are thinking of coming, I would appreciate your letting me know so I can plan accordingly. Ya' all come over now, ya hear. Lowell
