It is on my calendar and I would really like to go. I have not been to this show before, but the NCRS Winter Meet is at this location and it is a great venue.

I'll be there!

For all those up north, let's just say that Lakeland FL. DOES have great snow removal that time of year!

Hey guys!

I'm the local event rep for the Lakeland shows for Carlisle Events. Obviously I'll be at the event, working the car show area and I'd like to send this offer out to all fellow CF members.

As some have pointed out, this is not a Corvette specific event, but we do have Corvettes attend the show. I'd like to offer that if we could get a group of CF members to let us know ahead of time that they would like to attend, we can coordinate a special area at the show field for this group.

The car and driver are free, passenger would need to pay admission. IF you have two Corvettes, bring them both and make 'em a his & hers and you BOTH get in free!

If we can get 20 cars, we'll make sure there is a 20x20 tent and designated area for you where you could meet up, hang a CF banner or simply use it to just hang out together. We would need to know that you would be attending though. Working on a form right now to allow you do that.

So, that said, who would seriously consider attending? If there's interest, I'll post a way so you can pre-register specifically for this special section. Let me know!

I'm certainly interested. Live just East of Tampa, and trying to convince a buddy to come and visit so we can bring both my C6 and C7.

Great!

Thanks folks! I'll let them know to start making plans.

BTW: I know that this is only the C7 area, anyone have any issues if I stretch this out to the other generations as well? Would like to open this up to the entire Corvette Forum community.

I remember attending the Cruise-ins at the NCM! They were always open to all generations and they were a GREAT time!
