Tour to
Lakeland, GA
The Milltown Murals Motorcade
Apr 26, 2008
My friend, Linda White and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour to Lakeland, GA.
So sorry we did not catch up with the caravan because we missed the group
that stopped at Jake's in Monticello for breakfast (the service was a bit slow
there, but the food was great)!
When we arrived in Lakeland, we immediately parked downtown, but had only time
to figure out how to put down the top on the '53 Corvette we were driving.
It took Kathy Lewis, Linda, Glenda Schanbacher and me, plus some coaching
from Bobby Hollingsworth, Bob Love, John Schanbacher, Norm Madsen, and possibly,
in the race, I may have missed a few more important persons.
All too soon it was time for the parade. We enjoyed watching the people as they
seemed to enjoy the good array of cars that participated in the parade; it was
nice to see the enjoyment of the people in the cars as well as on the sidelines
as the variety of cars eased through this "sleepy", yet apparently energetic
town. Well, not having seen the murals, we felt we needed to go back downtown,
where we not only saw the nostalgic paintings, but also contributed to the boom
in their economy in a small way at some of the shops!
Due to the circumstances stated above, we unfortunately were not able to sit and
visit with the TRAACA folks under the trees at the park, but we did however get
a bite to eat at the Huddle House with Norm, Kathy, Peggy and Bill.
We had a few drops of rain on the trip home, but otherwise a very smooth
trip. It was a very memorable day
with some great people.
