Central Florida meet and greet at Webster/Bushnell

basketcase0302 · Post by **basketcase0302** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 3:55 pm

Hey everybody,

I realized that Sharkdance got real busy and we never got to have a meet and greet down here in Florida. I have contacted the folks that organize the Webster/Bushnell event that 69Rangerman spoke of here:
http://www.fordification.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5695
It will be a really cool place to hang out for the day. And they will only charge us the $5.00 per person admission fee to bring our trucks into the show grounds. They have also informed me that we can have an area "roped-off" just for the Fordification trucks in the show area. Here's the flyer for the event:

and the map on how to get there:

It's real easy to get to this place from just about anywhere in Florida, (takes me about 2 hours from Bartow). I'll drive up on Saturday and spend the night up there as I don't like the idea of getting up early to make it there, (I've got the name of a little motel about 15 miles down the road that said they could give us a discount if 3 or 4 of us got rooms for the Saturday night before the Sunday show date). I'll also offer to host any Fordification member here at my house in Bartow for that Friday night that wants to follow up to the show the next day.
We could all make Keith proud as the show organizers give a "club participation award" and $25.00 to any club with more than 10 members in attendance! Here's a few pictures I took when there in October:

I'll also have a special offer for a Fordification member that can attend this event. Look at this:

Can anyone hoping to attend this meet and greet please respond to this thread as soon as possible or pm me,(I need to let the event organizers know about how many trucks there will be). Please pm me for more information if you want.
Hope to see a lot of Florida Fordification members there!

And hey..not way to far for some of ya'll up there in Georgia either.

Tom,

Yes, the meet and greet is scheduled for December the 2nd, (that's on a Sunday).
I spoke to the event organizers of the meet last week. He said that if I liked the October show, I would Love the December show!
Suppose to be bigger and better!

DDude,

Nothing says it's gotta be a bump to get into the show!
(Just trying to get 10 of us so we could send Keith a plaque/trophy).
Bring the 56" please, (it is a Ford aint' it)?

For those not familiar with the Sumter County Fairgrounds Swap Meet it is a fairly good place to find all types of parts for all kinds of vehicles and hot rods. I won't guarantee you'll find what you want, but it's a fairly large show and swap meet. I've been there several times as a shopper and myself have unloaded a bunch of Fox Body Mustang stuff there on a couple of occasions. With the purchase of my 7-Up Mustang LX Convertible I now wish I had some of the things I unloaded, but that is the way it goes!

My truck isn't a show truck (my '68 driver, not my '68 parts truck) but I will mark my calendar and put reminders in my cellphone to let me know as the day approaches. I'll be there but I will have to clean the truck out inside (since it is piled high with all kinds of stuff).

I have been wanting to go looking around for some parts for my vehicles anyway and that will give me a reason to, since I will be there.

Do I need to fill out the flyer to attend? Will there be a reserved space for the group?

Dude,

You got me man!

Please....bring the 56! I think you have a run at the overall trophy far as I'm concerned!

l1k2gadd,
The event organizers have told me there will be a section for the Fordification members trucks. I'll need to get back to you on the individual entry form question in a day or two.
Don't worry about the "daily driver" thing, look at my bump!

No wait...wrong truck!

Sure am looking forward to a nice wintertime drive to Webster with the 4/55 air-conditioning in my bump.

No excuse for anybody in FLORIDA not to be there

bigjake34452 · Post by **bigjake34452** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 6:42 pm

is anybody looking to buy at the show?

basketcase0302 · Post by **basketcase0302** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 8:03 pm

Hey ya'll,

Do I need to fill out the flyer to attend? Will there be a reserved space for the group?

and:

can we bring parts?

I'm waiting on answers for those questions from the folks that coordinate the show.

Steemer54, good point!

Tim P. come on down man! Everybody needs a vacation ever once in awhile!

If I can track down an oil leak and get it fixed, I'll get up there. The Panthers are playing like crap anyway, even if they are hosting San Fran that day.
