Ringgold Christmas Parade / December Cruise In

« on: November 27, 2006, 01:18:24 AM »
Friday evening, December 1st, Several Volks Folks members will be participating in the Ringgold Christmas Parade.  This is one of the largest parades in the area!  Decorate your VW for the holidays with lights, tinsel, fake snow, or whatever you can come up with and head to Ringgold Friday evening.  The parade starts at 6:00, but for us to get a good spot in line and all get together, we really need to be there by 5:00 PM!  Line up is in the Ringgold High School parking lot.  If you are going to throw out candy, bring LOTS of it!  There will be THOUSANDS of kids along the parade route . . . and they LOVE VWs . . . and candy.

After the parade, we will head over to Portifinos (the one in Ringgold) for our December Cruise-In.  Being that it's parade night and everyone in the Ringgold area will be in town, Portifinos may be packed and we may have to just hang out in the parking lot, but Portifinos after the parade is "the plan."

If you need something to get you in the Christmas Spirit, this event will do it!  Hope to see you there!   :reindeer:  :santa:  :reindeer:

I can get there, but I don't have a clue on the names of the roads.  Let me do a little quick research and see what I can come up with.

Just before you get into Ringgold, Tennessee Street will fork off of Ooltewah/Ringgold Road to the right.  Go down Tennessee Street to Tiger Trail (on the right) and it will take you right up to the school.

Yes, Homer is running and purring like a kitten.  He sounds good.

Thanks for great turnout!  It was our biggest turnout ever for this parade!  If I counted correctly, we had 9 VWs . . . Two bugs, two bug convertibles, three buses, a single cab, and a Vanagonagon.  Well, make that 9 and 3/4 counting the Vanagonagon.  :lol:  I put a few pictures in the gallery . . . http://www.volksfolks.org/gallery/events/Ringgold_Christmas_Parades/Ringgold2006/ . . . if anyone wants to add to that album, please do.  My camera died before everyone got their decorations finished.   #-o
