"Rymes with Carolina"

[bomby74]

As a Celina rookie, I was wondering what we could expect as far as the
overall event goes. Is there any schedule I could view on line? When is
the parade? Saturday I presume? Is the tech session still on Sunday
morning? How about the retirement center rides? Is that still going on?
If there's no structure to the event, that's cool too as I am a spur of
the moment guy anyway.
I'm trying to convince others to attend and they want to know what this
gigs all about.

Thanks,

Brian Crombie

Ahoy Brian,
I've been patiently waiting for someone to ask
what is the schedule at Celina. Of course it'll
be pretty well spelled out in the next newsletter
but here is a thumb nail sketch to tease you with;

7/20 Wed: 06:00 PM Casa Rodriguez informal dinner (202 West Logan)
7/21 Thur: 01:00 PM Meet at Eagles, Lake swim w/Marc S.
04:30 PM Hands on Tech session with Gord Souter
06:00 PM Bellas - early registration (1081 West Bank Rd)
7/22 Fri: 11:00 AM Otterbein Retirement Home lunch and rides w/Billy
02:30 PM Info Tech Session, West Lake Village Community
05:00 PM CJs Highmark, registration (1211 Irmscher Blvd)
08:00 PM Police escort to Hot Hole
10:00 PM Fireworks over the lake
7/23 Sat: 09:00 AM Car Show & Swap Meet Downtown Celina
02:00 PM Photos at Hot Hole by appointment
05:30 PM Parade staging location Pullman Park
08:30 PM Dinner Banquet, awards, raffle at Eagles Lodge
7/24 Sun: 09:00 AM Fine Finned Farewell breakfast at TBD

Gloria Tiller has more details (and perhaps corrections to what
I've posted above). Please feel free to contact her with any
other questions. I understand newcomers find it all a bit
overwhelming the first time. That reminds me of joke... no,
I won't go there. Anyway, when you and your mates arrive in
Celina - FIND AN AMPHICAR AND FOLLOW IT TO THE ACTION!!!

Be well, swim safe.
Email Gord Souter names for an Amphibian of the Year!
Get off the couch and register for Celina...
...Where Amphicars thrive in 2005!

Amphipoda,
Thanks for sharing the schedule. Looks pretty relaxed. One more thing
if I may. What's the "hot hole"?

The "Hot Hole" is a launch ramp where our Amphicars
do crowd pleasing water entries, so named if I'm not
mistaken, for the warm water expelled from the local
power plant or some such industrial facility which
may or may not actually be pumping warm water. I
could of course tell you something wickedly naughty
but this is a public forum and I kinda have an image
to uphold as president... sort of takes the fun out
of it sometimes. Biting my tongue...

See you there Brian, and don't worry - there'll be
plenty to see and do. Just role up your pants leg
and stick out your thumb for a ride.

Be well, swim safe.
