Kevin McGovern has a picnic every year, for all kinds of car people. We are invited. This is a great event, with lots of fun people, an amazing group of cars, and good food.
R.S.V.P.: kevinmcgov@aol.com
22nd Annual Lotus
Summer Party
Place: Kevin and Denise McGovern’s
Date: Saturday, Sept. 8th
Rain date: Sunday Sept. 9th
Time: 2:00pm- 7:00pm
Come and enjoy a swimming pool, tennis court, and friends. There will be plenty to eat and drink. Bring your family and a Lotus (or other interesting vehicle) if possible. There will be plenty of room to
park on the lawn.
Directions below. (Google directions are inaccurate!)
.
Direction to the McGovern’s: 11356 Homewood Rd. Ellicott City, Md.
Take Route 95 to either Route 100 or Route 32
From Rt. 100 : Follow 100 west to 29 south to 108 west. Stay on 108 west. At 4th traffic light ( Homewood Rd) turn right
*Stay on Homewood Rd for 7/10th of a mile then turn right into our driveway. It is a large opening with stone pillars and a gate. If you go over a bridge you have gone too far. Follow the driveway back and go through a set of white brick pillars. Continue until you get to the house
From Rt. 32 : Follow Rt 32 west to Cedar Lane/ Sanner Rd exit. ( the first exit after Rt 29) Make a right at the end of the exit. Take Cedar Lane to the end. Make a left onto Harpers Farm Rd. At the third light Harpers Farm Rd becomes Homewood Rd. stay straight. Follow the direction from *
For those using Google Directions: If you are instructed to turn on Castlebridge Rd do not turn. Instead go to the next right turn which is my driveway and turn into driveway and follow it to the house at
the end of the drive

Hmm, Jess will be 8 months at that point, so I don't think she's going to fit too well... We'll see though since we both always enjoy going.

Hahaha, I think the bigger problem (pun intended) is if she'll be able to get in the car! |

I heard that this is the wettest year in local history. I can believe it. In 22 years of holding this party, the McGoverns have only had to even use the Sunday rain date once. Since Sunday was forecast to be worse than Saturday, they chose to press on with the party today. No doubt, the weather kept a lot of people away - but Kevin and Denise McGovern showed real class, and held another great party. Attendance was down - I heard only about 1/8th of the expected people and cars showed up. Even with the smaller turnout, the cars and people were amazing! Thanks to the McGoverns!

More from today... I was especially intrigued by the white Europa - it was painted a pearlescent white, just like the one I owned for 21 years!

Glad it happened! Was worried as, yes, today (Sunday) would have made for a bad rain date!
Awesome Lotus attendance!
And the McGoverns are certainly, indeed, fantastic hosts!

As always, lots of interesting non-Lotus cars there, too! Ferrari Mondial, and Jensen Interceptor - what a great model name!

I swear one year I'll make it to this event. I've only made it once, but it was a great event. It typically falls on or around my Bday, so it can make scheduling tough. |
