Sweet, a mini cabrio filled with a banana split....yummy!!!

 

If Mark's not an ice cream fan, come on your own...hitch a ride

 

Holy cow gang...a guy goes offline for a week and we get 25 more people. We're now up to 61 people and 31 cars. I've updated the master list of attendees, so if I missed you, please let me know.

T-Shirts would be cool, but not sure I could pull that together by the Dragon. If anyone else wants to take a whack at it, that would be way cool.

I'll work on getting some more details (departure location, parking, and what-not) ironed out this week.

 

Hey Muidaq....I have sent PMs to Edge and Twister to see if they have points of contact for shirts since they have really cool ones for Monte Carlo and the Movie night. I'll pass on the info if they can help. We need to know price points, time frames, etc. It would be cool....I have design ideas but, alas, no artistic talent. You've done a great job organizing this....thanks.

 

-2, im out

 

Muidaq.....Craig has come up with a really cool design.......how can I get it to you or on the thread so everyone can see it and decide if they want one? Prices are reasonable too. We need to get final word to him ASAP to get them in time. You're all gonna LOVE them!!!!!!!! The guy is GOOD. He did all the other shirts....Monte Carlo, Cigar Tasting, Movie, etc.

 

I'll have to bail on this. I'm doing the Auto X and will be busy all day, I'm guessing.

Thanks for setting it up, though, it's a wonderful idea

 

Thanks for letting me know guys. Sorry you can't make it.

 

Couple pieces of news today. I talked to the owner of Soda Pops today and he's excited to have us roll through...as many as we can bring.

Also, in record pace, IsAMini has arranged for t-shirts for the Ice Cream run. Sign up is in over on this thread.

Mike

 

I'd like to add 2 more TO the Ice Cream Run, please...if entries are still open.

Jeff

 

The Welsh are always welcome at ice cream time. Gotcha Jeff.

 

Possible two one MINI

 

I am glad you still have his card. He was very excited about this idea last year...Glad you remembered to make it happen.

 

I'll bring my good camera and we'll try to get a group shot with the owner...

 

If I may make a suggestion as to where the Ice Cream Run folks could meet up to start the run.
Just down the road from the entrance to the Village is the building where one used to check in to the Fontana. It has a sizable lot and driveway, if I remember correctly.
If this is agreed upon by the ICR co-ordinators, then we ought to get permission from Fontana to use the space. We may have sold the place out, but we're still guests and don't own the place..yet.
The only other spot I could think of that could handle such a crowd is Ingle's supermarket parking lot in Robbinsville.
Just a suggestion from a DV (Dragon Veteran).

 

We are now at a YES!!!!

 

You think I saved that card for a year? Ha. Google, baby, google.

 

I thought about that spot, but couldn't recall if it was big enough for 40-50 cars (which is where we're headed). Do you think it could handle that many? If not, what about the base of the dam? It definitely will handle us, but I'm not sure if there's a photo happening down there at that time.

 

I can't picture the area around the old check-in building specifically, but I thought it was big enough...maybe not for 50 cars, tho'.
You're right..the dam is the only other place, short of Ingall's parking lot. If there's going to be a photo shoot, then we're kinda screwed. I'll keep my thinking cap on tho'...

 

The Dam would be the best place to meet. Although Ingles has a big lot it would not be right to take up that many places and possible displace some of their regular customers. 50 or so cars would take up quit a pit of their lot. It could also be a busy time for Ingles.

Just my opinion.

 

Believe me, Ingall's is never that busy. Curiously enough, their parking lot is pretty big..the biggest in Robbinsville. There's also the dollar store's lot, but I don't remember if it's big enough.

 

This is a very good idea! Ingles (in Robbinsville) is not anywhere near the route I drive to Bryson City, which is Hwy. 28 to 74/19, then left to Bryson City. If the lot for Fontana's old registration area is not available, the Dam is good because of its proximity to Fontana.

 

Clo, can you remember if the old registration lot is big enough? For the life of me, I can't picture it clearly.....

 

Hey guys....don't forget to go to the T shirt thread and order and pay for a cool shirt for the Ice Cream Run.

 

The lot was big enough for the brew swap parking last year.

Add two people/one MINI to your list. Tentative at this point but I loves me some ice cream!
