DRP - Holiday Lights Run - Sat Dec 17

Postby danjmcs » Wed Nov 23, 2011 6:21 am

We will once again be organizing a run around the valley of some of the great Holiday Lights displays!

Image

Because of how this years route has come together, and with the Toys for Tots event on Sunday the 18th, we will be starting this year at Mini of Tempe, 7855 S Test Drive, Tempe, AZ 85284. This will give those that can't attend the Sunday morning event a chance to also drop off toys on Saturday before the Lights Run.

As we did last year, we will be giving out a prize to the best decorated Mini on the run, so start putting your ideas together!

Please arrive at the dealership by 5:30PM and around 5:45PM we will expect those that have decorated Minis to be ready to be judged so we can determine the winner(s) and give out some prizes! We will then we head out at 6PM sharp!

This is typically about a 2-3 hour run from start to finish, with a treat break and/or bathroom stop(s) along the way.

Bring your radios, cameras and sense of adventure! Hopefully you'll see some parts of the valley you haven't seen before. We also highly recommend you bring a navigator! It makes it much easier as we wind in and out of the various neighborhoods!

Also, if you are not decorating your car to win some prizes, please park in the street in front of the dealership so there is room in the parking area for those decorated MiNis to be parked/judged, as well as for customer parking, since the dealership is still open til 7PM, thanks!

Please RSVP if you plan to attend so we can get some idea of an attendance count.

Here are some members pictures and videos from prior years runs to give you an idea of what to expect to see!

Don't forget we have a busy weekend coming up with the Lights Run on Saturday night and the Special Cars & Coffee Sunday for Toys & Tots the following morning!

Since we're starting the Lights Run at Mini of Tempe, you can also bring your toy donations on Saturday evening or wait until Sunday morning, depending on if your attending one or both events!

Hope to see you all out this weekend, Rain or Shine!

Yep, there are two pages, so I think you were looking at the public Fan page. I just made sure you were on the Members Group Page too. You should see the Events now. There isn't a separate Events link anymore after the last round of FB changes, they are mixed in when you click on your own regular Events link.

And like Louie said, If your going to be close to making it by 6, or just running a little late, shoot one of us a text and we can give you some directions to where we're headed.
