Parking: 

Enter Main Street from Route 22 at the East end of town by Stewart's Root Beer Stand 

1. Parking lot off of Clark Rd, immediately after the H&R Block on Route 22 eastbound. Driving eastbound, you will pass the Exxon-Mobil gas station and then H&R Block, which is on the corner of Clark Road (a narrow lane).  Clark Rd. is easy to miss, and is right after the H&R Block, which is right next to the Exxon-Mobil Station (if you aren't paying attention you can easily miss it).  You should be able to enter and exit this lot even if most roads are closed
   
   2. If the Clark Road lot is full (there is a good chance it will be), folks should be able to park at the nearby Courtyard Marriott, or in the lots of other commercial office buildings north of Route 22 on Cokesbury Rd.   You will need to cross Route 22, either at Cokesbury Road or Corporate Drive at the intersections with crosswalks.
