From: Strawberry Classic Car Show Committee Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce Subject: Plant City Corvette Car Show We would like to take this opportunity to invite members of your club to participate in our Strawberry Classic Car Show on March 21, 2009. While our monthly shows are for 1984 and older antique, classic, hot rod, & low rider cars and trucks, however, the show on the 21st will feature and welcome all Corvette vehicles, from the early models to the current production. We have reserved the south parking lot at the corner to South Palmer Street and Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard for the featured vehicles. The show is from 4 – 9 PM with registration beginning at 3 PM. There will be over 20 vendors and sponsors on the streets and in McCall Park. Downtown restaurants and shops stay open late for the event. Entertainment will be provided by the musical group, Stan & Elaine, with performances at 6 and 7 PM. Bring your family and friends as this is a great family event. The show takes place in historic downtown Plant City surrounding McCall Park and the old train depot. For those attending and using GPS, the event area address is 102 North Palmer Street, Plant City, FL 33563. For additional information you may call the Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce, 813-754-3707 or 800-760-2315. We look forward to meeting you on March 21st and at future car shows. Thank you.

with friends in-town (who own an immaculate '80 and a '98), we thought we'd take them with us..... the fact that it should draw many Corvettes (being open to any model year) is an unknown & added bonus. :thumbsup: |
OK, I've got it now...:thumbsup: I hope to see ya there. :dancer01:

I'm thinkin "Goldie" just may find her way there too.

Yee Haw, I can't wait. :eek: |
OK I'm going to break my tradition of.......
:beatdeadhorse5:never saying anything negative but :ack2:...... Carrie and I in "Goldie" arrived in downtown Plant City at right at 1600 for the show.:crazy03: First, let me step back and say if you had arrived at the show location at maybe noon, set up a tent and waited for the chaos to begin, you'd probably been just fine,:shrug01: however , the designated parking area for Vettes was full and simply barricaded off with no alternative parking area. As a matter of fact every farkin parking area was loaded in the most chaotic manner I have ever seen.
The Vette area had Camero's, other Chebbys and an assortment of muscle cars. Silly me I watched for someone in charge (or at least pretending to be) but alas none was ever found (did I say ever found, I mean ever, ever found).:thumbsdown::thumbsdown: :vette:As we drove home from Plant City, never having stopped, thoughts crossed my mind, mostly analogies actually, like it reminded me of the 74 car pile up on I-4,:banghead: or a soccer game gone crazy in South America :banghead:or a train wreck,:banghead: or the sinking of the Titanic or an avalanche, (or just use your imagination).:rant::rant::rant: Plant City LEO's did their best to direct traffic but cars were parked in places you would just not believe. It was the most classic "Charlie Foxtrot" I have seen in years. To my brothers with Vettes and others who attend on a regular basis, I'm glad you have this mess figured out. To the organizers, if any ever existed, gang you need to do some serious work. That was a mess of biblical proportions. I wish to offend no one but damn that was a mess and I'm sure you wont miss "Goldies" absence next month. Ken :thumbsdown: |
