A 53/54 nose along with other parts came through Arcadia as I was stopped at a Red light today. Sure they are headed to the swap meet. Going Saturday.

I couldn't really tell from the website, even when checking the FAQs

From what I could tell on the website, it does look like there is a fee, because they mention if you don't register and wear their name tag, they will ask you to leave.......

As above we went last year at no fee. They are referring to venders and cars in the show only as they do need to control that.

Wind was Brutal Today. Venders were having a tough time keeping it together.

Wind was brutal. I ended up leaving around noon. Hanger was packed due to temps and wind, really couldn't get much of a look of the cars being judged. When I left, close to half of the vendors hadn't shown up yet, a field of tarps. For sale corral had maybe a dozen cars or so. Can't call it a disappointment, I did score a set of wheels for my C5 coupe, but the weather did put a damper on the day.

Show was a disaster due to cold windy weather. I drove down Saturday from Orlando with a small group & arrived about 50 minutes later at around 1pm & it looked kind of empty compared to the old town shows that I attended in the past. Food was horrific as the burgers & pulled pork sandwich were cold as the air. I sure wish it was back in old town but oh well. Hate to say but probably my last visit to this show as a spectator.

I drove down Saturday morning after the rain cleared. While driving down I4, the local "Revenuers" has a couple of Vettes pulled over in Lakeland. I assume they were caravaning toward the show, but who knows. Anyone want to admit that they had their wallets lightened?

Yeah, the weather sucked and I felt bad for the vendors. There were some vendors that were stuck way out the back near no other vendors and no one was going to their tents. I am guessing a lot of vendors failed to show.

Kind of wish the show started on Thursday and lasted through Sunday instead.

When the show was at Old Town, I liked watching the judging. I did not see where they had the judging setup. I guess I missed it.

Judging was inside the hanger. Inside was like the mall on Black Friday, difficult to get to see the cars. I saw the 2 cars eastbound I 4, the yellow vert was being put on a flatbed when I passed heading home.
