Lake Padgett Estates holds its Golf Cart Parade

By

Hundreds of decked out golf carts joined in the fun for Lake Padgett Estates’ 10th annual Golf Cart Parade on the evening of Dec. 8. Lake Padgett Estates has been sanctioned by Pasco County as an official golf cart community, meaning that golf carts can be driven on certain roadways within the community.

The sun sets over East Lake as decorated golf carts line up to get ready to be in the golf cart parade. The nearly 5-mile parade began at the corner of Collier Parkway and Parkway Boulevard, and ended at Frank George Park, on Lake Saxon Drive, just in time for the boat parade on Lake Saxon.
Dressed as a festive Uncle Sam, Richard Rust, drives his cart to join the procession of decorated golf carts. The Rust family includes Richard’s wife, Amanda, 2-year-old daughter Faith and 9-year-old daughter Peyton, right. They recently moved to the community from Alaska and were excited to be taking part in the parade for their first time.
