On the last day of the Red Flag Horseless Carriage Tour, the drivers and their support teams meet at the City Park in New London.
Dover Historical Society hosts the participants with breakfast at the museum. New London Holiday Stroll is providing breakfast for visitors and community members at the Shelter House. All proceeds from the breakfast will support the Annual Holiday Stroll scheduled for Dec. 9. Breakfast will be served from 7-10 a.m.
The vintage vehicles will be parked on the square. Stroll the park and enjoy both the vehicles and the drivers and their companions dressed in period costume.
If you have a moment, take a few minutes and look through your trinkets. Plan to donate unwanted treasures to the Stroll Committee.
The Holiday Stroll Elves will be providing a shopping event at Clark Elementary. Students can browse the items and purchase Christmas presents for their loved ones. Santa’s elves will then wrap the gift for them.
Every donation helps provide joy for a youngster and funds to have a wonderful Stroll. All proceeds go to support the Holiday Stroll.
After cheering for your favorite car as it leaves New London on its race to Brighton, head to the side streets for the citywide Yard Sales are also scheduled for Sept. 30.
