One Lap of the Mountains VII is scheduled to roll on Friday morning June 7th. You are invited to join the fun as forty lucky drivers, with their passengers, drive beautiful mountain “less traveled” roads and experience the comradery the One Lappers from past years have enjoyed.

A continental breakfast will be available to all participants beginning at 7:30 AM.

This year’s Welcome Party will include a Parade of Main Street. All vehicles and drivers are invited to participate by gathering at the Kelsey Hutchinson Park around 5:30pm. There will be a driver’s meeting at 6:00pm with the procession departing shortly after. Following the “Parade of Main Street”, the group will return to the park and join others at the Welcome Party, which will be at the High Dive watering hole, located at 476 Carolina Way (one block north of Kelsey-Hutchinson Park). Cash bar and complimentary snack will give you a start for the evening.

A special version of Highlands’ Cars and Coffee, known as “Butts on the Bench”, will commence at 8:00am. The location is Wright Square on Main Street, between 1st and 2nd Street, across from “200 Main Hotel” Resort. The gathering is a time to say goodbye to new friends and renew acquaintances with old friends. Vehicles, old and new, are welcome to participate. “For sale” signs are allowed. This is a very casual gathering that usually happens every weekend in Highlands. Please plan on attending.
