Christmas at the Lighthouse Member Tour #1
2024-12-21 16:30 - 18:30
This is what you have been waiting for: our “Christmas In July” convoy to the lighthouse! When we had our Christmas In July fundraiser at the Rising Tide Tap & Table, ½ of the activity was advertised as a trip to the lighthouse over the holidays. We have a lot of new members from that fundraiser so we decided to pick two dates to ensure all who want to convoy out, including our established members and brick owners, will have the opportunity. Therefore, you have your option of two dates: you can choose either 21 December or 28 December. Both will be late afternoon convoys so we can see the lights come on at the top of the tower. Just let me know which date you prefer when you reserve your space. It’s always fun to celebrate at the lighthouse! There may even be some gingerbread cookies to enjoy.
This will be a sunset tour to enjoy seasonal lights at the lighthouse. We will meet at the Space Florida/Space X/Sands Missile Museum parking lot between 4:15p.m. and 4:30p.m. Vehicles will be lined up, given a “day placard” to be placed on the vehicle dashboard, and escorted through the Space Force gate to the lighthouse NLT 4:30p.m. The Sands Missile Museum will be open from 9:00am until 5:00pm, so you might like to come early and enjoy that museum, as long as you make sure you are in your car ready to convoy to the lighthouse NLT 4:30p.m. We will visit the lighthouse, our cottage/museum & gift shop, the Space Force’s Hangar C, and return to our vehicles at 5:45 to line up and leave the Station by 6:00 p.m. Please note: You may take photos at the lighthouse and in Hangar C, but are not permitted to photograph as we enter the gate or anywhere else we will visit on Space Force property.
Bring bug spray as the mosquitoes can get pretty bad around sunset, especially if you are a mosquito magnet like some of us!
We hope to make this a festive tour with Christmas decorations/lights on/around vehicles (optional), Christmas cookies, etc. If you want to decorate your car with lights, you can get reflective Christmas Car Decorations on Amazon. Plan to see the Christmas lights and wreath on the museum and lighthouse tower, and to see the light flash in the tower.
As always this is on a “First Reserved, First Served” basis limited to 20 vehicles, but no limit to the number of passengers who legally fit in the vehicle; no foreign nationals are allowed.
It is very important to remember that when we convoy on Station we must stay together, with badged escorts spaced among the vehicle. There will be no deviating from the convoy; we start and stop together.
To climb the tower up to the 5th level, proper footwear must be worn (shoes that have a back or back-strap; no heels or flip-flops) and you must be at least 48” tall.
To reserve your space on the date you want, you must register in advance by emailing cclf-membership@canaverallight.org by the following deadlines:
21 December convoy: no later than 13 December 2024
28 December convoy: no later than 20 December 2024
