This is an email from George Foster who puts on a cruise each winter for classic cars. It could be fun to get a group of VWs to join in.
Hey Polar Bears,
It seems like we just finished the last Polar Bear Run, but it's time to start thinking about the 2011 event.
This year, the last Saturday falls on New Year's Eve. So like we did in 2005, we're going to follow this year's drive with a New Year's Eve party to ring in 2012. All are invited to join in the fun.
Our destination will be the tourist village of Helen, GA. The town will be decorated for the holidays, and there will be plenty of eating and shopping available.
After visiting the attractions, the party will move to the Lodge at Unicoi State Park. We visited the Park for New Year's Eve of 2005, and it was a blast for the 100 guests who participated in that evening's event.
Those spending the night at the Lodge will also have the opportunity to take a proper Polar Bear swim on Sunday morning in the State Park's lake. This, too, was a surprising success at the last overnignt event.
We're still finalizing the details with the Lodge - you should be able to start registering very soon. Stay tuned for details...
If you can't spend the night, just come for the drive. And be sure to bring all of your Classic Car Enthusiast friends. As with the past 11 Polar Bear events, we welcome ALL classic and special interest vehicles to participate. And if the classic isn't up to the task this time, you can still participate in whatever you have available.
This year, we started a Facebook page - just look for Georgia Polar Bear Run, and check often for updates. Photos from our last event are posted on the page, so you can see what you missed if you weren't there.
More details will be available very soon. Watch for our starting time & place, as well as reservation info for the Lodge.
We're looking forward to seeing you in December!!!
Cheers,
George
