Bob & Beryle Slaydens' Haunted Burton Broom Stick Tour (10/28)

10/27/2017

4 Comments

 
The 356 SOG requests you attendance via RSVP for a Fall drive to the Flying Horse Lodge on Saturday, Oct. 28th. In the event of REALLY bad weather Oct. 29th will be the rain date. Call Bob first before changing your plans.
(770) 842-4346 cell or (706) 212-0350 Lodge.

RSVP is now closed! We're at full capacity, thanks to all who registered.

Get ready for a tour, a lunch, a lodge event and "car themed" costume contest - with prizes!

We'll meet at Home Depot at the end of GA 400 at 9am, there will be doughnuts, biscuits, coffee and other delights and a brief talk about the route.

Plan to depart at 10am, the drive to the luncheon location will take approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes.

We'll arrive at the Lake Burton Grocery around noonish, skip dessert to allow time for social activities at the Lodge. Once at the Lodge join us for SOG camaraderie, desserts, wine, beer, coffee and sodas; and swimming (for the brave), fishing and boat rides for the afternoon. Who could ask for more?!

Hopefully we’ll have some nice fall colors.

This will be a "Costume Affair". Come dressed as your favorite car, race car driver, team member, event announcer or other fun auto themed costume. This is going to be a fine event!
​
Please note, once at the lodge, park on the side of the road past the driveway, look for the cones.
​ ​
There is room for 3 cars down at the house, save these for person​s​ with physical​ limits, knees, hips and the like. Ooops, this may be all of us so arrange with Bob for lower level parking.
