Hampton Roads Weekend 2006

Steve wanted me to "post something quickly" about the Hampton Roads Weekend. Well, here it is (final details to be determined at this Monday's club meeting):


Laid Back Pasta Eaters FYI for planning:
Hampton Roads Weekend Oct 6-9 (Columbus Day weekend)

• Friday night dinner at Harolds
• Sat AM Coffee Bagels and Tech Session at Duncan-Patchin's Strathmoor House
• Sat mid day Vintage Aircraft Factory Hangar complex/air field tour downtown Pungo out in the old Princess Anne county and country road tour to Knotts Island
• Sat Afternoon Wine tour Moonrise Winery Knotts Island, NC $5 We can picnic lunch if we bring our own as Owner Katie no longer does box lunches.
• Supper location can be back at town center complex or wherever as Jenro's and Rick and Andy's place real close to each other and town center only about 3 miles from Jenro's
• Sat evening Car display/show Saturday Night Fever at Jenro's Coffee Shop 3 PM to 9 PM
  Night cap desserts/pizza at Rick and Andy's
• Sunday morning MAARC Concours at Robin and Tom's in Newport News/Hampton
  Sunday mid day drive up Peninsula
• Sunday afternoon 4 PM Dinner Fox Hunter Grill on Chickahominy River north of Williamsburg.

Work in progress so some more details about Sunday breakfast/brunch/lunch plans as well as final Saturday plans forthcoming.
