St Patrick's Day Parade in Columbia - March 13

Mark your calendars: March 13 in Five Points (Columbia) to drive in the St. Patricks Day parade. Last year we had 13 cars, well decorated and won first place in the vehicle category. (Beat out a bunch of trucks, vets, etc). We'll have a position to line up in; that's where we did our decorating last year. Lots and lots of fun; and many, many people. Please join us this year; bring your ideas and decorations and have some fun!

More to come as I get info.

I will try but can't commit at the monent. I had a great time last year even tho it was chilly and the rain did hold off til the parade was over so all you topless gals could make it.

Hey
I was hoping to get the crew there, but we will be fishing for deep water trout in Western SC on our first camping trip of the year. Jon and Lissa both have their spring break that week. If we get back early or it snows us out we will be there. Thank you so much for the invite!!
It was great seeing ya'll in Helen.

Here's the latest news. We have been designated as #28 and our staging area is at the corner of Amherst and Devine. We should start lining up around 8:45, latest by 9:30.

Those that want to come down Friday, everyone is welcome. Lots of food, wine, beer and margaritas are in the works. My address is 852 Spears Drive. Take I-20 East to exit 82, Spears Creek Church Road. Left at stop sign, 1.5 miles. My neighborhood is Spears Creek Village on the left. It is gated so find my name Burton in the directory and I'll let you in. My number is 803-873-8055 if you get lost. Hope to see everyone on Friday and/or Saturday.

Thanks to all that made the parade a huge success. M2C2, UpState and Midlands MINIs made a great showing to the Columbia parade. baby blue had an awesome party Friday night to kick things off; Saturday morning was beautiful and the parade was lots of fun as usual. We had some will decorated MINIs. Again, from Midlands MINIs, thanks to everyone who helped and enjoyed themselves.
