2016 Florida "Barner's Bash"

Here are the photos I took on my phone. Real camera photos will come later. These include: the caravan ready to leave the hotel on Friday to the Garlits Museum, a 48 Chrysler with a hemi engine that showed up at the Garlits museum the same time we did, some shots of the drag racing museum, reflection of Vic's 39 Convertible Sedan in a hub cap, Vic's 39 Ford, a artsy shot of Vic's 39 Lincoln Zephyr and a street rod from the barbeque on Sunday.

More photos. Engine in Jerry Shook's 31 Slant window. Getting ready to leave the hotel on Day 2, going to Dade City and Tommy Small's house and collection. Some shots of the cars at the house and inside his "soda fountain" room.

No fears about Apatchy not making it. Is me what keeps us away. I really should not be driving at all. I cannot control the foot pedals well at all, and that is dangerous for me and others. I caused a 4 car pile up last week, totaling my car. No one hurt, thankfully.

I was just pullin' your chain a bit Lawson, but I had always hoped you would come to one of these events so we would all have a chance to meet you in person.

Sorry to here about your four car pileup, and glad no one was injured in that mishap.

I took a bunch of pics. I will try not to duplicate JM's.

Milford, don't worry about duplication, these guys love to see pictures, even if they look at the same things a couple times , besides your shots were probably taken from different angles than than mine, and will show different items in the background. Keep 'em coming!!

Some more of Tom Smalls' collection.

Here are a few shots taken at the barbecue on Sunday. Note the JM has not lost his magic with the ladies! We had a great time seeing everyone, and wish we could have been along for the tours on Friday and Saturday. Thanks to Vic and everyone for making this a fantastic event.

Al, glad you could make it to the BBQ, and thanks for posting the photos. Looks like JM was filling up his 'dance card'

It has come to my attention that a number of Barner’s, that attended the 10th Annual Florida “Barner’s Bash”, were not happy with the accommodations. I’m sorry to hear this as the hotel we used has been the same one for the last five or so years. Recently the hotel changed ownership and I guess the new management has not kept up a satisfactory level of service. As a result, I will be sure to make a change in accommodations for next year’s event.

I would appreciate hearing from you, if for nothing else; to let me know if anything related to the Florida “Barner’s Bash” was unsatisfactory.

All of the Cigar City Flatheads, myself included, take pride in putting together what we hope will be enjoyable and memorable (for all the right reasons) events. Feedback from attendee’s is necessary for us to know what works and what doesn’t. Thanks for your continued support.

Hi Everyone, I double-dog-dare y'all to try to organize one of these deals. Not easy to sleep in the days leading up to the event.

Vic, keep up the faith!

Set the date early enough and I (pretty much) promise to trailer down next March. (Pending Spring Break dates, I'll let you know as soon as I do, or set it up in October and I can request off.)

Some more pics. More at Tom Small's and a couple from the Cruise In in Dade City.

And yet more. The Cruise-in and later at Keith's (I think).

It's all said and done Bob. This is just post Bash discussion time and some additional picture posting going on here right now. Maybe think about keeping some time open for next year, late February to early March time frame. Always some fun in the sun time hanging with the Cigar City Flathead Crew in the Tampa area.

Hey Vic, keep up the good work on the annual FL Barner's Bash. I know from my past limited experience on putting these types of gatherings/tours together....it just ain't an easy thing to do....no two ways about it!! For me, it's always a treat to get down your way during one of the two worst months of our winter up here in MD. Whatever you and your CCFH guys put together is all just icing on the cake for me, once I'm down there in the fun in the sun state.
Now having said the above, I did send you a PM last night about something I stumbled upon this year regarding accommodations,... I did not send this because I was unhappy with anything, but only because you asked to hear some feedback from us on this

 

[Vic Piano]

Milford, thanks for posting more photos, I love the '39 LZ rag top....

John, I got your PM and I will check out the hotel you mentioned for next years event. Thanks.

[Vic Piano]

Hi Jerry, it is always a pleasure for me to see you and Sara and I appreciate your continued support of the "Barner's Bash". I hope to make it up to Dawsonville this October for the Moonshine Festival and, I will be looking for nicer accommodations for the next Florida "Barner's Bash". Vic
