Howey Parade Dec 15th!
This Saturday Howey in the Hills will be having their Holiday Festival. This will have a Craft Show and Doggy Parade starting at 12:00 pm. The Cubscouts (that’s Garrett’s troop) will be the only food vendor tent with HotDogs, chips and drinks from 12-5.
The Parade itself will begin at 3:00pm sharp, so you will need to arrive in lineup sometime around 2:00pm. You can throw candy at this parade. And what makes this parade so special is that the route is along Lakeshore Drive. So it’s a beautiful parade route.
You can come and park your car early and walk down to the craft show, shop around and grab a hot dog from me – Ill be working at the cubscout tent! LOL
Our line up is #301 on East Laurel Avenue near the Mission Inn. (put that address in on Google Maps and it shows you right where to go)!
So decorate your cars, pray for no rain until after the parade, and see you there Saturday about 2:ish!

who sells old Florida tags. I got a 1930 one I want to register for my car.
You might put his name and email in the news letter in case anyone else wants one.

(model A’s will be parking on the lawn in front of the restaurant, modern cars will be parked to the right of the building.
There is ample parking for both if you arrive early enough).
We have our photographer going to be set up at 10:00 that morning on the lawn in front of the building. So we are asking that you show up between the hours of 10 and 11 to make sure that she has time to photograph each and every one of you. If you are in a modern car, no worries, she is going to pick a background that will make a beautiful picture of you as well.
(Once again, you are under NO obligation to purchase these photos and the club will be paying for the sitting fee for the photographer. We just want to encourage everyone to have their photo taken because this is mostly for our new directory that I will create after the first of the year.)
This is the meeting that you are encouraged to dress in period attire. This is not a requirement, however, it is a lot of fun and would make a great model A photo!
Don’t forget that Mt Dora is having their parade, while we are having our banquet, so you really want to come arrive on time so that the streets won’t be closed or crowded.
Seating for our banquet will begin about 11:15. Once everyone is seated in our private room, we will begin our meeting so please be prompt. After our meeting they will serve lunch and then immediately following lunch will be our extra special entertainment! According to Van they are a “fun rag time band”! I personally can not wait! Our photographer will be wandering about during the meeting and luncheon to take some candid shots – pretend you don’t see her! J Our festivities should wind down about 2:00.
See you all there!

Parades - GREAT showings!!!
Thank you to all of you who have participated in our parades thus far! This is when it is really fun to drive a model A!!!
So far we had our Umatilla parade, I heard it was great! With a large turnout of A's, Im not sure how many of you showed up, but I heard you also got a tour of an RV center and all went out to lunch together at the Mason Jar diner!
Then we had the Tavares evening parade with 7 model A's! After the parade we all followed the leader to the Soup to Nuts diner! That was a lot of fun!
Then I just heard news about the Altoona parade on Tuesday, they had 14 model A's show up on a weekday and were treated to a wonderful lunch by the facility! That is awesome!
Thanks to all show have participated and remember we have one more parade to do on the 15th of December. Thats our little Howey in the Hills parade. It's my favorite cause it's along lakeside in the afternoon! What a beautiful place to have a parade! More information to follow, but mark your calendars!
