Our neighboring section, the Virginia Section, is hosting the Smithfield Station Dine and Drive event on Saturday, April 24. Central VA Section members are welcome to participate. The following was provided by Don LaBar, President of the VA Section:

Our Smithfield Station Dine and Drive event will take place on Saturday, April 24th. Our trip will start at 9:15 AM at Phillips Mercedes, located at 4949 Virginia Beach Blvd in Virginia Beach. We will have some fresh donuts from the nearby Krispy Kreme as we socialize and wait for everyone to arrive. We will depart around 9:30 AM to meet the rest of our group around 10:00 AM at Tysinger Mercedes located 2712 Magruder Blvd in Hampton. After a visit to the showroom we will head out around 10:45. We will travel north along Route 17 to the Yorktown Battlefield, down to the waterfront and onto the Colonial Parkway. There is no passing on the Parkway so try to stay together as people are entering all along the route.

Once we get through Williamsburg, be on the lookout for red detour signs at exit to Route 199. If they are there, follow Route 199 to Route 31 onto the FREE ferry. It’s a short trip to Surry and if you wish you can feed the seagull out of you hands so bring some bread. Once across, stay on Route 31 to Route 10 and make a left. We will enter Smithfield on Route 10 business. Just before crossing the bridge out of town you will see our destination Smithfield Station on the left. Parking is across the street on the right. Our lunch should start around 1:00 PM. This looks to be a great event and we are inviting members of the Central Virginia Section to join us.
