Seeing as how I haven't been to this event before, I'm not sure what kind of crowd will gather. If ice cream on the way is planned, I'm geussing no one intends to be there when the gate opens.

Does leaving an ice cream parlor around noon seem reasonable, or perhaps that maybe too early? Any suggestions?

I for one know very little about this event, but would like to get in a reasonable days activities. Mind you, I don't mean the full 10 to 6.

I'll check our social calendar, but it sounds like fun to Ben and me!  I haven't seen many of you in a long time, sorry to say.

Count me in for the 19th.
Is there a set date and time or even a place to begin the drive from Yorktown?
Sounds and looks very unplanned at the moment.
Please let me know more info if when it's avail.
Thanks
Luke

I just thought about something.  The festival itself is 10-5.  However, we don't necessarily have to be there when it starts.  As such, there are options for times and the route taken.  I did suggest the long route through West Point; this will allow for more back roads.  I was supposed to do the Urbanna trip in June (sorry on that one).  It's about 20 miles north of Gloucester.  There are antique shops at both locations.   080

Everyone let's meet here at Noon

Patriots Square Shopping Ctr
On Rt 17 on the right handside heading towards Yorktown just past Fort Eustis Blvd
8100 George Washington Mem Hwy
Yorktown, VA 23692

http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&q=8100+George+Washington+Memorial+Highway+23692&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF-8&ll=37.190079,-76.487515&spn=0.09135,0.129948&z=13

From there will take Jumping Jack's scenic route to the festival.  We can hit the ice cream shop on the way home to top off the afternoon.  icon_razz

Updated the first post with this info.  If Noon is too late we can change it. 023

Wendy, sadly, I don't think I'll be upto the West Point drive. It's not in my gasoline budget at this time  022

I will keep my eyes open for the MINI group once I get there.  023

Noon is fine if we head up through Gloucester.  If we go through West Point, it will take a bit more time, so I would suggest leaving around 11 a.m.

According to a recent review, Short Lane Ice Cream has some good hours, so late-day stops here is good.

I'm for meeting at noon still and shooting up there through Gloucester.  Maybe take West Point home for those that want more of a drive after stopping at Short Lane. That will give an option for folks to take a long way home.  Gas prices are a little tight right now and between Auto X last weekend, this weekend trip, GWR next weekend it wouldn't hurt for us to cut back where we can or spend it on festival food and trinkets instead.  icon_lol

Beware on Route 17 near Gloucester 018 I got to meet a very UNFRIENDLY VA state trooper and I'm shelling out the big bucks to his retirement fund - he clocked me at 71 in a 55 zone - it's cheaper for me to pay the fine then lose a days wages and drive to Glouster on the hopes he doesn't show in court. 018
Hope you all have a blast - I'll be flying to ME to visit family on the Atlantic - can't go to the ocean here - I have to go where the water is frigid despite being July  120.

OK.  We will meet at the Patriot Square Shopping Center Saturday at high noon.  From there, we can decide what to do after the festival and ice cream stop.  See you all there.   023
