There are so many things to do here on the treasure coast that we have planned an optional pre-event activity for those who wish to join us at the Space Force Station / Launch Site Tour. The website is https://canaverallight.org/ and read this article from (another club’s) member on their experience https://spc.pca.org/cape-canaveral-space-force-station-lighthouse-tour-november-16-2024/. This activity will max out at only 25 cars. Note that you will have to check in at Cape Canaveral 9:30am for a 10am start finishing at 12:15. Know that if you sign up for this, I will email you the itinerary along with a form that MUST be completed and returned asap. If not done by March 1st your name will be removed from our attendance list and the member at the top of our wait list will go instead.
Thursday, registration opens at 4pm with welcome party at 6:30pm. The hotel will be the location for our Thursday night welcome party and tech quiz. Food will be provided, cash bar.
Friday morning gives you three choices:
1) a drive stopping at two museums displaying treasures from sunken ships off our coast. Then on to an award-winning spot for lunch, self-pay.
2) or a scenic drive with a stop for lunch at a seafood restaurant with a Southern-inspired menu, self-pay.
3) or join the Peach State Region to tour the American Muscle Car Museum. Other PCA regions have been invited but no report on RSVP’s as of yet.
Again, this year we’re including Friday night dinner. We’ve found a fun restaurant for our dinner and social time.
Our Saturday morning People’s Choice Concours will be held on the grounds of the fabulous American Muscle Car Museum. We will have a corral for our concours while joining over 400 classic cars in their Classic Car Show.
Don’t forget about our Saturday afternoon swap meet, please bring any items that may be of use to another member. At the swap meet we will be treated to a 356 electrics tech session.
Saturday night is our banquet and awards presentation, always a fun night. Maybe you will go home with a new treasure of your own.
We ask that all who can, come to our member meeting on Sunday morning at the hotel. Finally, 356 Unlimited has invited us to their open house after the member meeting.
