I have one more Postcard for you in the NASCAR trilogy...the sights of Speed Street in uptown Charlotte.
We soon learned that we could have skipped lunch in the Pitstop Cafe and just moved from food tent to food tent sampling a taste of this and a sip of that. There were even people walking on the streets giving away samples.
I have always loved uptown Charlotte, so it was fun to be able to stroll right down the middle of Tryon Street and take in the festival up close and personal instead of watching it on the evening news. Speaking of the evening news, I saw my favorite personalities from WBTV there signing autographs! NASCAR drivers past and present make appearances and guess who we saw? The King himself...Richard Petty! I got a big kick out of seeing the drivers larger than life on the side of their sponsor's trailers too. The only food I was really hoping to get was some ice cream and sure enough, there was the Turkey Hill booth giving away cups of chocolate and vanilla! Thanks so much for dropping by to pick up your Friday Postcard. Happy Glamping Weekend to all my Sisters and I hope the rest of you kick off June in style! See ya back here on Monday. |
