Who's Going To The Gator Hammock Wild Pig & Pepper Jam
 

Ok, I know it is not a Corvette event but this club likes to eat, so If you are interested it is on January 1, 2007 in Felda which is on SR 29 between Labelle and Immokalee. All day affair sanctioned by BBQ associations around the country. See ya there.

We always miss that and then see it on TV later! Maybe this year we'll go. Where exactly is it?

WTF..
 

Is that?:lmao: The only thing that comes to my mind is Deliverance!
Just teasing! would like more info as well.:thumbsup:

I was looking for someplce to go on New Year's Day. THIS IS IT! Thanks for the heads-up!

If I can talk the wife into it, we'll be there!

Here's a MAP QUEST link for you:

From 75 looks like a sweet ride....80 east to 29 and straight south!

Been here all my life and roamed all over between Tampa and S. Fla and NEVER heard of that place!! I gotta go just to see where it is:yesnod:

Neat idea!!! I'd like to get more info, is there a website?:crazy03:

I put some links in a post here.

Thanks Gannet:thumbsup: We usually catch it on the Food Channel after the fact. I'm thinking this year we'll catch it first hand!!

Thanks Gordon. From Lehigh it's 82 to 29 then north. I can handle that :thumbsup:

Armando
Have you sent this info to the club?? Some of them may have something they'd like to do on New Years Day!

Would be great for a caravan of vettes to go together. TBV may be coming down with some cars. Maybe a couple of staging points would be appropriate if enough people are going. For those in the Fort Myers/Lehigh Acres a good spot would be the Winn Dixie on SR 29 and SR 80A (Cowboy Way) @ 10-10:30AM to get there shortly after 11 AM. All depends on the response we get.

:thumbsup:

We'll have to make some plans during this coming week. :yesnod:

Armando, thanks for the heads up. I've been too busy lately to check what's been happening online. Weather permitting, we'll be there! What a great way to start the New Year by seeing old Corvette friends!

Linda, keep me posted. We haven't caravanned anywhere in a while. Sounds like a great idea to me!

My husband knows the folks there and spoke with them today. He says if we let them know how many vettes will be coming they'll have a place for us to park together inside the area. Sounds good to me! Figure maybe 10-15vettes?

Hey Barb, missed you lately
Robert and I plan to go. Rich and Joyce will still be here and will also drive their vette that day. Should be fun!!

Pig & Pepper Jam
 

I'll be in town on business the week of 1/1 so I may run by. Don't know if I'll be in the vette or the explorer as I'm hunting that weekend also. Not sure if I can see over the hog strapped on the hood of the vette............:ack2:
KWVETTE

Linda, also include one Jag in the count -- Ben & Millie will be attending!

So far there are 5-6 cars from our club going. Do you know the number from your area. We may be able to park in one designated place if we have an early count. Please advise.

Count on 3 cars for me (this includes rich427).

This is the latest post to my note from Gannet:
My guesstimate, and it is only that, would be 3-6 cars. There have been a few responses to the various posts, but not many. thebeepster's, above, is the only firm one I have, other than myself. OTOH, there are often folks who see Internet postings and just show up.
Unfortunately, the weather forecast as of this morning doesn't look too good. I take heart in the fact that this far out they are usually wrong. We'll see.


It's a little hard to keep track of this topic when it's on 2 threads.

ROLL CALL!

Who's in - Who's out

Does everyone know where they are meeting to caravan @ points north and south.

Since this is where this thread originated, I am trieing to herd all the lost doggies back here.

Armando -

Skip and I would like to go - where are we meeting and what time???


Susan

:welcome: to our site. I responded to your email just minutes ago.

Armando, where is the caravan meeting and what time?

As of right now, the meeting place will be the Winn Dixie parking lot on SR 29 and CR 80A (Cowboy Way) between 10-10:30Am. From there we will caravan to the event which starts @ 11 AM. I will try to firm things up by end of tomorrow and will post both here, the CF and will email all that I know are going from our group including you and Andy.

Stay tuned...:bigear:

Folks,

I am doing my best not to leave anyone behind. :ack2:

If I miss someone, please fill in the pieces for me.

So far: Dom/Joanne, Linda/Robert, Bev, Andy/Barb, Armando/Karen, Sue/Skip, Judy/Bill + TBV (who I have not heard back from:toetap05: )

Will add to list if anymore join in.

The folks at the event that have the places for us to park would like us there about 1130. Also, if you are interested you are encouraged to bring some canned goods for the Harry Chapin Food Bank. I didn't think that would be a problem...we love to donate to good causes!
I'm going to post this in the Events thread also

Latest Weather Forecast
 

F L A S H !!

WINK News is forecasting threat of rain for Tuesday so we may be in luck.

Stay tuned...

:party: :party: :party:

We will be meeting Monday, January 1, 2007 between 10:30AM and 11:00AM @ Winn Dixie parking lot at the NW corner of SR 29 & CR 80A (Cowboy Way) in Labelle. The event organizers will be providing us our own parking area thanks to the Duschl's and they are asking for contibutions of canned goods for the Harry Chapin food bank. We may also have some members from Tampa Bay Vettes joining us as well as some stragglers. We are expecting 10-15 Corvettes at this time.

The weather looks like it may not be a factor at this time which is good given that the event is outdoors. So shine up your ponies and bring a good appetite.

Speciall Thanks to Dom, Linda & Robert for their assistance with the logistics.

:grd:

I haven't seen any replies from Vettes on the Gulf. Has anyone notified them of this site????? or this event?????

If we come the back way, which would be my preference, I doubt if we'll hit Labelle quite by 11. It's 130 miles on the route I have plotted. We'll try and hook up with you at Felda, but if we don't end up parking together, no big deal.

Thanks for trying to arrange things. :D :thumbsup:

I know Barb and Andy Fulton know about it. She's Electra on this forum and they are going.

I know its late but I have contacted their president and he will forward this information to their membership.

Looks like the Tampa contingent got rained out. Copied from the Tampa Bay thread:

We had a great turnout at the Gator Hammock Wild Pig & Pepper Jam. Thirteen cars attended (including Mellow Yellow from Naples and Rich 427 from Maryland). The BBQ was exceptional as was the crowd.

A big thank you to all that attended and a special thanks to Robert & Linda for getting us the parking spaces. Congrats to the DiBattista's on their new ride.

Pictures should be forthcoming from our "official" club photogs (Bev & Linda).

Until we meet again @ the next caravan, Happy New Years to all.
