MINIs from various parts of Florida, including Melbourne and Daytona, met today in Winter Garden before a drive to Yalaha Bakery; we are too busy today to do the drive, but met everyone at the parking garage before they headed out.
Winter Garden used to regularly hold a Cruz N Car Show, but they stopped doing it a year or more ago; now it’s back! City Of Winter Garden says they’ll do it quarterly now – that’s often enough I think (we didn’t go every month when it was on before, anyway).
Today rain threatened (and poured crazy heavy on the way there), but somehow went around the town center, leaving all the show cars dry – here’s some photos:
Unlike last year, we headed to Winter Garden downtown early this year, got parked and had dinner before the tree lighting – smart move because it’s popular and busy! When we arrived, we were greeted with a big sign and lighted trees (but not the big one, yet):
There’s quite a few people already, with more than an hour to go; the tree is decorated, but not yet lit:
After dinner, and sunset, it’s tree lighting time!
Perhaps more impressive, Winter Garden City Hall had a projection system set up to give beautiful changing images:
It’s a nice town we live in 🙂
