Hey Greenman - Thanks for coming out... & For those of you not on facebook I have the following announcement...


For those interested in Cars & Coffee Williamsburg - you may have noticed on Facebook yesterday that I posted the November event location as: To be Announced. Effective Oct 17th with the concurrence of Jose and Russ - I sent an email terminating our association with The Williamsburg Winery. While it was for the most part - cool to hold our event there, it had it's obvious drawbacks... Waivers, Tall grass, Uneven terrain, Soft ground, etc. etc. etc. We parted amicably.

At this point it has yet to be determined where the November event may be located. We are currently in communication with 2 different venues, possibly a 3rd. I learned much about the needs of our patrons during our short stint at TWW. A decent cup of coffee with a place to rest indoors, paved parking, and easier access. Rest assured our new location will include all three - among other things made more obvious to me as a result of our move there. All these things and numerous others made me take a hard look at how much we've changed since our humble beginning. Such a disparity made the need for a move to stark to be ignored..

Cars & Coffee Williamsburg wishes to thank all those who have joined us for a morning or two in the past... for your patience and continued support during this time of transition. Please look for us on Facebook & at our website: Cars and Coffee Williamsburg (http://www.carsandcoffeewilliamsburg.com) for information in the coming weeks as to our new location. We hope to see you all again real soon.

Regards

Hey Sam,

It was nice of the winery to host the C&C, but I don't think many of us expected it to continue for various reasons. When looking for a new location, take into consideration the numbers that most likely will show up, a good location could easy bring 200 to 300 cars/trucks by next summer.

Yeah I hear you Greenman, 4 months over there nearly killed the event. When you consider all that's happened in 4 short months & what being there put me through, I took a look at the lot while standing there talking to you. Uncut, uneven... Low numbers... I said to myself, I wouldn't park here either. And started looking for a new location on the way home. We'll find a spot worthy of everyone's hard work. And hope.

"The Coffee House": owned an operated by Adrienne Benbow, has graciously accepted our invitation to host our monthly event beginning in November and going forward. At the Coffee House, You'll find a warm and inviting establishment with a friendly staff willing to meet your coffee and breakfast menu needs just off our expansive, public, Paved, lot with plenty of room to grow.

The owner of University Square made only one request regarding parking on their property: that we Do Not utilize the spaces directly in front of the Blooms grocery store. Rest assured there is plenty of parking adjacent to Blooms as this location is likely the largest paved location in Williamsburg!

Rain is in the forecast for our event tomorrow, Saturday the 21st. However, the news this morning indicates we should only get rain overnight - but the rain should move out after 4 AM before returning sometime around noon.

I feel we can fit the event in between the showers. So for now I say we are a GO!

I will monitor the situation through the day, so check back on Facebook and at the website for any changes before leaving home... I hope to see you all tomorrow at the Williamsburg Crossing - corner of Highways 199 and 5 in Williamsburg VA. See you there!
