Well, I m very happy to report that my lovley wife and I are already here - got in last night. Rented a nice, very old house a couple of blocks from downtown Mt. Dora, and just took in the big car show being held today.
Looking forward to the boats arriving in putting in our shifts as show volunteers. Reg Down from my neck of the woods arrives in a few days, and I imgaine I will see some of you around the tent and elsewhere over the course of the show.
I think it likely that there may be an informal cocktail hour or two on the huge screen porch at our place. You hear that, Matt?

Mt Dora/Tavares& Congratulations
Bill:
Sorry you can't attend this year but understand the conflict...Of Course you can brag...and Congratulations to your son on his award...And If you can stand a little more bragging. The West Point Society held a banquet here in Tallahassee with more brass than they have at Pier One to honor my grandson and two more from this area who recently received appointments to West Point.
Can understand some asking questions...I've got to believe some of the registration forms went astray...At least I didn't get one here but then I thought it was probably time to break my Sanford/Mt.Dora/Tavares perfect attendance record this year.
If the past is any measure, those that go should have a good time.

Wilson,
Congratulations to your grandson on his West Point appointment. He must have been influenced greatly by his very knowledgeable and well respected grandfather. Congratulations to you and your family as well.
As you say, those that go to the Sunnyland Show should have a good time but I must add that it will not be the same without seeing you there. You will be missed by many.

Rick,
That makes it official then. We'll all meet at the Chris-Craft Antique Boat Club tent Friday at 4:00 PM for meeting, greeting and for a group photo. If you're a Show Volunteer, try to break away for 5 minutes to be included in the photo (I'm sure Show Chairman and CCABC President Terry Fiest will excuse you long enough for this).
I look forward to seeing a large gathering for this, so if at all possible be there at 4:00.

Well, I'm not gonna make it. I can't get a hall pass. Our six year-old daughter is in a dance competition and I get to provide the getaway vehicle and hoof all the props to the backstage entrance.
Oh well, I was really looking forward to meeting some of the members of the forum and some of the legends like Wilson, Al, Bill, Terry and Matt. Drink one or three for me.

I was so looking forward to meeting some of you this year and I was in Florida two days ago, but I just couldn't stay away from home any longer and flying the family out wasn't in the books.
Since we were so close to making Florida this year, we promised ourselves to make a show in Tahoe this year.
Have a great time everyone! I want lots of pictures posted!!!

Just sharing, I was copied on the below email:
Sunnyland Boat Show Pictures being uploaded daily - from Vance Jochim
Spread the word I just uploaded 455 pictures from todays registration lines of boats coming in from 9am to 2pm today. They are in jpg format and can be downloaded for free or you can order prints from the Picasa website.
I will be uploading pictures each day. I have not edited, or cropped these pictures, but may do so next week. I also am going to try to input captions or filenames with descriptions of the boats and boat names next week.
The originals are 5mb in size, but when uploaded to the Picasa website, they are converted to about 440k (half a MB). You can download these picture files free, or order individual prints from Picasas print service.
They are at the same place where all my prior boat show pictures are located, which is at:
http://picasaweb.google.com/LakeDoraWoodBoats
If anyone else has good pictures of tonights Century event with pictures of the boats on display at the Lakeside Inn, let me know if you can provide them to upload to this site. I was not able to attend the event due to a conflict. I will also need pictures of the Friday night event, but I will take pics of daytime events on Friday, Sat. & Sunday plus Saturday night.
One reason for so many pictures is that I also took pictures of design features of many trailers, and I will move them to another folder later this week.
Since I dont have access to the master list of Sunnyland, if anyone wants to send a notice to ALL the chapter members, that would be great, so those that did not come can see the pictures now.

Kudos to our president Terry Fiest and our Sunnyland Chapter for a great show last weekend. Anyone that was there could not help but enjoy the great weather and all that Wood.. lots of great pictures up on Woodyboater. Al Benton and I had a great time accompanying Don Ayers on one of his famous photo shoots. All of our club members at the show gathered Friday afternoon at the Club tent for a meet and greet. It was great to put a face with the "Buzz".

I second that emotion, Pete. Terry and his team of volunteers did another splendid job putting on a first class Boat Festival. The best one yet! It was good to see many Buzzers there at the booth on Friday. Another true pleasure was meeting Brian Robinson and visiting with him for a while. The photo shoot with Don was great fun. Pete and I both lost our hats in Lake Dora and we all got soaked from the rough water and spray but the end results were well worth the cost of a couple of new hats.
