Vendor Information and Stuff
Vendors:
We are only three days away from "The Ultimate Corvette Party" all Corvette Show and Sale this coming Saturday, November 17th. The weather is supposed to be beautiful although a little cool in the early morning hours so dress accordingly. If you have any questions regarding your space or participation in the show, please call Mike Dye at 813-781-3781 or Jim Kill at 813-695-2341.
You will have two contacts for setup this Friday and Saturday listed below. In addition, I am enclosing our Parking Manager's cellphone for your convenience.
We have a great New Vendor location this year in conjunction with the moving of the show slightly East of the Ferman New Car Dealership. Our Vendor space will be along the Ferman Service Road just to the East side of the Mazda Dealership out front along the road so you and your vehicles will have high visibility and plenty of space to spread out. Beginning at 5:30 AM on Saturday Morning, we will block of the Service Road in the area where you will exhibit and there will be Police at both ends to direct traffic. All Corvettes will now enter the lot at the new Ferman Corvette Accessories Building and this will be our Show Headquarters as well. If you have a trailer or Van/RV that requires you work from one side only, please call in advance so that we can direct you to the right entrance so that you will not have to turn around. We strongly urge you to setup Friday afternoon when we will have the flexibility to spend time getting you setup properly.
Setup times are this Friday between 3 & 5 PM for large Trailers or RV'S and anyone who wants to pre-stage their tent or cars. We will have a guard that will walk the area Friday night but please be aware that we are not responsible for any stolen, missing or damaged property whatsoever. If you do have an RV type vehicle and wish to spend the night in it, we have a space for you either pre-staged in front of the show or in the back of the fence behind the Mazda dealership.
Normal setup time will be from 6 AM till 9 AM on Saturday Morning, November 17th. and if you just have a tent to set up, this time will be fine. We will try to accommodate you as to space location as best we can but if you get there late, please do not expect to get your choice of locations.
Please do not forget our "Meet & Greet" on Friday evening at the Hilton Garden Inn, our Host Hotel. We will began gathering around 6 Pm and the Hotel is having a Corvette Buffet Dinner, Cash Bar and Karaoke Sing along beginning around 6:30 PM. If you are not already booked at the Hotel, I think they are sold out but please call to check. We have a contingency Hotel that they will recommend also. All the information is on the Vendor website @

Remember, we do not furnish tents, tables, chairs etc. You must bring your own stuff!
We will have four radio stations broadcasting live all day at the event so feel free to go up and talk to them and get your Company some free publicity. We will have a great band starting at noon and free door prizes given away all day long. Andy Pilgrim of C5R Racing fame will be there signing anything you want and of course we will have the third annual "Valve Cover Races"! We will also have plenty of great food and a wonderful day of talking and looking at Corvette's. Come by the Registration area at the Ferman Corvette Accessories Building early for free coffee and breakfast sandwiches!
Extremely Important!
