Golf cart parade will be held Dec. 10

ROLLIN' THUNDER

The Rollin Thunder Golf Cart Club’s annual Golf Cart Club Holiday Parade will take place Saturday, Dec. 10. The route, beginning and ending at Clubhouse 6, will cover most of Leisure World’s main thoroughfares and largest residential streets.

Residents who want to in the parade should meet in Clubhouse 6 at 3:30 p.m. to add those last-minute seasonal decorations; carts will roll at 4.

Club member volunteers will set up refreshments and hot beverages at the parade’s conclusion. Prior to the parade’s start, parade participants are asked to drop off their generous contributions— including a variety of finger foods—for the post-parade goodies.

In case of rain, snow, sleet or hail, the parade will be postponed to Dec. 17, same time, same place. If it just drizzles, however, the parade will continue on as planned.

LWers in 2020's golf cart parade decorated their carts to the nines. Electric cart batteries should be fully charged, and gasoline carts should have full gas tanks. The parade’s slow speed and frequent starts and stops can quickly drain a cart’s power.

The route will begin in Clubhouse 6 and will roll through St. Andrews Drive to turn right on Interlachen. Then, the parade will snake around the flagpole on Sunningdale and continue up Del Monte Drive, through Northwood Road to El Dorado. The group will then turn around on Canoe Brook Drive to drive back up El Dorado and will turn right on Oakmont Drive. The cart drivers will finish with a loop on St. Andrews, driving from Kenwood Road, back to Clubhouse 6.
