flat 39 · 01-12-2017, 11:11 AM

I plan on showing up again.

Vic Piano · 01-12-2017, 01:08 PM

Excellent Dick, will you be with us for all three days? I hope.

mhsprecher · 01-12-2017, 01:49 PM

I plan to be there all three days. I have hotel and flight reservations already.

Vic Piano · 01-12-2017, 02:16 PM

Did you reserve a room at the host hotel or a different one? Just curious, as we will be meeting each morning at the host hotel.

Old Redneck · 01-12-2017, 02:59 PM

Sure wish I could come down there. I not sure that any of my Junkers would make it. Anyway I am still working being a slum lord. If we came down there all hell would break loose up here. Can't afford to hire help to keep the peace when we are gone anymore. At my age I got one foot in the grave anyway the wife says. I wish all of you a good time and stay out of the bars.

At the host hotel. Easier that way.

Vic Piano · 01-12-2017, 04:40 PM

Hi Redneck, haven't seen you in several years, would love to have you and your wife come down for the weekend. You can even drive one of my "Junker's" if you want.

Pat/Ohio · 01-13-2017, 08:47 AM

Vic,

Candy and I will be there Saturday and Sunday. Looking forward to seeing all of you again! Be safe!

JM 35 Sedan · 01-13-2017, 09:08 AM

Vic, I am planning to be there, but unsure about the details on how I'll be coming down at this time.

Vic Piano · 01-13-2017, 11:27 AM

Excellent John, we're looking forward to seeing you. I'll warn all the ladies...

LOL

Vic Piano · 01-23-2017, 05:40 PM

Here's an up date, for those of you that are planning on joining us at the 2017 Florida "Barner's Bash" from February 24th to 26th. We've got a bunch of really cool things scheduled for all three days, and we'll be cruisin' all around Tampa Bay, taking in some beautiful scenery on the way to our chosen destinations. The "host hotel" is a new one this year, the previous hotel had changed ownership and we had a number of attendees express concerns about the diminished level of service and quality so, we moved up to a brand new location. They've given us a substantial room rate discount, and I'm sure everyone will be pleased. I almost forgot to mention, there is more then adequate space for trailer parking. If you haven't booked your room(s) already, you have until January 27, 2017 to reserve rooms at the discounted rate, and, if need be, you can cancel up until 6:00PM of the arrival date without penalty. We recommend calling the hotel directly at 727-835-7820 to make reservations using your 3 letter code CCF . Additional information about the hotel is posted on page one of this thread. The Cigar City Flatheads are looking forward to seeing everyone in February.

JM 35 Sedan · 02-09-2017, 08:37 AM

I may need to "bum" a ride or two in an old Ford at this years Bash

. Rental cars aren't that much fun in the sun

Vic Piano · 02-09-2017, 11:34 AM

You are welcome to ride with me John, I just hope there will be room for all the women... LOL

Okay Vic, we can always pack plenty of extra women in there if we go topless

Vic Piano · 02-09-2017, 12:26 PM

Sounds like a plan... See you soon.

Zimmco · 02-09-2017, 05:04 PM

Vic,

Nancy and I will be there. Unfortunately, we'll be in a modern car, but just being around flatheads and Barners will do just fine! What time will everyone meet at the hotel on Friday?

Al

Vic Piano · 02-09-2017, 06:05 PM

Al, we'll meet in the lobby of the host hotel at 9:00am on Friday, the 24th. I think there will be several people getting in on Thursday evening, so we might try to do an impromptu dinner, we'll see how things come together. If you will PM me I'll give you my cell phone number. Please call me when you get in. Thanks. Vic

Vic Piano · 02-10-2017, 05:18 PM

Just two weeks to go for the Florida "Barner's Bash". the host hotel is still accepting reservations and honoring the discount room rate. If you haven't made your reservations yet, I recommend that you book your room(s) quickly. The host hotel is the Holiday Inn Express at 2125 Corporate Center Drive in Trinity, Fl, (SR 54). The phone # is: 727-835-7820. Be sure to mention the code, CCF to secure your discount. See ya in two weeks.

Vic Piano · 02-16-2017, 04:09 PM

The eleventh annual Florida "Barner's Bash" is just one week from tomorrow, February 24th to 26th so, if you are planning on joining us for some Flathead Fun in the Florida Sun, I hope you made you hotel reservations and, if you are flying in to Tampa, hopefully the weather where you are won't cause any delays. I will be meeting with early arrivals on Thursday afternoon at the host hotel and hopefully we'll all go out to dinner that evening. Looking forward to seeing everyone and having an enjoyable weekend. Vic
