The Brandywine Valley Driving Club is a part of the American Driving Society and, as such, is a part of the Mid-Atlantic Region.  Every year the clubs of the Mid-Atlantic Region put on a weekend of pleasure driving.  The recent Mid-Atlantic Pleasure Driving was hosted by My Lady Manor's Driving Club.  BVDC sponsored and hosted a recreation of a Breakfast Drive in memory of Mary Warner Brown, one of the hostesses of the original the breakfast drive . 

The morning of the breakfast dawned cool and bright, an absolute turnaround from days of heat and humidity.  A small army of volunteers appeared armed with hundreds of pounds of food, and equipment.  Look at that spread!
Almost ready  Like a well organized assembly line everything fell into place as we awaited the masses..... 
The carriages appeared from several directions traveling the short or long routes...and some just appeared.  Fran on juice patrol
Mary Rose Mott Some got lost, and some had no trouble finding the route.  But everyone seemed to have a great time. 
Sausage, egg, and cheese on English muffins, fresh cantaloupe w/huge strawberries... Deb Camplone serving the first course
Breakfast is served! ...bagels w/cream cheese and a variety of juices, teas, and coffees were available.
Many stayed to chat, enjoy the company and the spectacular day.  Approximately 150 people were served.  Many came to eat and stayed to chat

Then as quickly as it appeared, the army dismantled camp, packed up, and the site was returned to the beauty and peace that is Fair Hill.
