    I'll be there.
    I go every year.

    It'll be interesting to see how it goes at the fairgrounds for a change.
    I hope they don't try to charge for parking.
    The fairground here is notorious for that.

    Not only is it the usual Ford show this year, but they are also doubling up with another rod show or something from what I heard.

    My uncle is getting a vendor spot again this year.
    He said the new deal, now that it's at the fairgrounds, is the vendor spots are a little more expensive, but alot bigger spots.

    I am usually far more excited about the show, but this year money is tight and I will probably just be drooling from the sidelines rather than wheelin' and dealin' as usual.

    Did I mention I go for the parts swap, not the car show? ;)

    What day ya going?

    When I have dough, I go all three days, all day long.:dance:

    Without dough, I go Fri and Sat for just a bit to see if I can barter.
    If not, I don't hang around. Depends on the vendor quality that year.

    I would like to go to that show sometime. However, it is the same weekend as the Daytona Spring show. Our statewide Cougar club holds it's annual gathering and meeting at the show. There is usually around 1600+ cars there. We usually have 35 Cougars at the show.

    If you can't make the Pennsacola show, come join us.

    I will be going and my car will be in the show! Maybe I'll see ya there. I usually see Dave (ratio411). Like he said, it's at the fairgrounds and there is suppose to be another show at the same time so there should be several hundred cars. Just hoping it's gonna be a nice weekend for it.

    I saw your car there last year, I kept going back to it hoping to meet you but never got the chance. Maybe this year.

    I'm suppose to bring an orange 70 Mach I over for a friend to put in the corral for sale. So I'll probably be running back and forth from my car to the corral. My cell is 228-623-1650 if you wanna give me a call when you get there. I'd like to see your car. :)

    Cool!

    Glad to hear it Ray!

    I really like what they did at the fairgrounds too.
    There is much potential for greatness over what we had at the mall.
    There were 500 cars there, and the local cruisers had a lot and building with many more cars on Saturday only.
    I still wish there were more vendors...

    We spoke with the Pres of the local MCA and he said they expect 600+ cars next year, the 2nd ann GCC show will go Sat just the same, AND they signed a 4 year contract with the fairgrounds to keep it going.
    So this is great news.

    He was walking around wanting comments on the new situation...
    We told him it was great except for too few bathrooms, way too far away...
    and
    Too little food vendors... There was only one, provided by the fairgrounds, and the line was seriously 50+ people long most of Sat.

    He said those were 2 BIG problems he heard from everyone, and of all things to be addressed, those 2 would be tops.
