Yup. That's always the weekend - last weekend in March.

poignant,...

Like last year, I will be there. I am really hoping it all goes better for me as far as getting the car there!

Hmmm, just noticed that it is the weekend of Easter...

Loaner wagon for Stingroo

Wagonfest is far better than Easter.

Also, there's more beer.

Yeah but I am pretty sure I will hear about missing Easter with the family for years. I may have to sit this out unless I can convince the fam for a trip.

I'm going to be in Jacksonville, Fla. this March, maybe the first week in April... I not sure on the date's, but it would be cool if WF Fla. was held when I'm down there. It would be nice to meet some of y'all southern kooks.

X2 on the Easter aspect though, I'd be out if it were on Easter.

I will be there. The question is, in what wagon. But I am going. Missing the last two sucked.

We'll see how this winter goes.

Eloquent...

Dangit! Already booked a wedding that Sat and am usually playing somewhere Fri and Sun since it's Holy Week / Easter.

This could be a big downer for attendance I'm pretty sure I can still swing it, but would definitely have to bolt early on Sunday to get home for family stuff....

I usually start the ball rolling on planning right after New Years with the hotel, etc. We can take a vote at that time to see where everyone is at. I'd be okay with a different weekend, however, the rod run is a BIG part of the draw for people (especially those coming from a long way away)....

Is there another event (like a Cars and Coffee) or something like that we could do? Right now I have 3/5 and 3/12 free and I'd sure like to have an excuse to be in the FL sun. Lol I would also be happy to help in any way or chip in for a shelter rental.

Just throwing that out there.

I almost wonder if people will put up a stink and get the date changed. I imagine many will still want to celebrate Easter.

Bring the families, and we can have an Easter egg hunt at the motel. Maybe the prizes can be Easter baskets.

It'll be a hard sell getting my 89 year old grandma to daytona. But I'll give it a shot!

Doesnt bother me either way, Orlando is just an hour up the road!

They have to be painted Easter colors, or it will be sacrilegious. Get the spray paint out.

It does seem weird to plan an event like this on a holiday weekend. Unless, their idea is that lots of folks are in Florida anyway for Easter, so why not have the show when more people are around? Attendance seems pretty skimpy for such a huge venue. But it sure sucks for our people who are driving a long way just for the show, and then miss a big family holiday. Someone proposed an alternative date in a public place (like the northern wagonfest) which would be fine for me. Either way, I only live a few hours away, so either idea works for me.

I emailed them, and they know about the weekend being Easter. It does not make a lot of sense to me, but it is their decision, and we will see what happens.

They said that they had changed it to the week before Easter and they had a lot people up in arms over the change, so they moved it back to the normal weekend.
I am for sure not going to make it that weekend. BUT, my wife, daughter and myself have spring break the week of the 4th-8th of April. We may be coming down there for a vacation that week.

We can take a vote on it after New Year's (when we actually plan the thing), and see what works best for most folks (will pick a couple of weekends and vote). I know the following weekend, I'm supposed to be involved with this shin dig in Orlando (which in itself, could be a killer WF destination....IF it all comes to fruition (still in planning stages).

Well, is this Orlando thing a Bbody thing too? If so...I will block off April 2nd since it's now the only Sat I have free from weddings in April. Lol I need to clone myself so I can have another Cellist.

Not directly, but wagons would be welcome. I haven't heard ANY updates in 2 weeks, only that the people in charge of the venue were dragging their feet....so I dunno. Again we will be fast and hard on it after new year's....

Sprocket, did you know the Good-guys in Kissimme is no more? Apparantly the attendance wasn't what they had hoped for. I'm really bummed-first Wagonfest, now this!

Good guys is a business. You should come to a local Cars and Coffee in West Palm well over 1000 cars every month. $2 if you want to drive in, free to walk... Seriously, car show season is about to start, you should come over

I wonder........

If I was a vendor at one of those, maybe I could pay for the trip.....
