SHOW REGISTRATION BREAKDOWN
Spend Memorial Day Weekend in Key West! Bring the family, have some "fun in the
sun", relax in the shade, and all the while, you'll be benefiting those that do
so much for us! Throughout the weekend, there will be activities centered
around
the Car Show. You participate only in the activities that you like then venture
out on your own the rest of the time, please check the
SCHEDULE for details on all the events. You will be able to leave your
vehicle inside a secured and patrolled area of the base, when not in the show
and there will be a transportation ticket available so that you can get around
town and to the planned events, without needing to move your vehicle. We have
also secured a block of
DISCOUNTED hotel rooms for your convenience.
The registration amount, per car, entitles you and up to 3 guests to attend the
activities listed on the show menu above. If you have additional guests,
you can register them via a form in the REGISTRATION - FORMS page, or it may be
cheaper, if your situation allows, to just register another car.
If you choose to make use of the secure on-base parking, there will be a schedule posted in
SCHEDULE as to the times when
you can access the secured area. IF you need access outside the published
hours, please contact us with plenty of time so that we can try and work
out a solution, especially if you will be arriving late on Friday and want to
leave your vehicle inside the Base. Check out the
TRAILER-PARKING section for a view of the field where the cars will be.
For those that don't want to drive during the weekend, we have secured a discounted
transportation only ticket from the
Old Town Trolley Tours Company
which will allow us to make these tickets available to you for the same price as
the Trolley company, but will also allow us to include an event T-Shirt with
each ticket. These tickets will allow unlimited boarding for both Saturday and Sunday. Please check the Trolley Tours website
for the schedules and locations of the stops. Some of the hotels may also
provide shuttles. You will have to evaluate if just the hotel shuttle will suit
you or if you will also need a Trolley ticket. If you don't get the Trolley
ticket, you can always order the t-shirts directly from us at a discount, but
only if you order before the show
WELCOME RECEPTION / ORIENTATION
This is a short get together where you will get the latest show information and will be able to ask any questions you may have.
Most importantly, this is where you will get your ID Tags NECESSARY for the
other planned activities. If for any reason, you will not be able to make
it to this activity, PLEASE let us know AHEAD OF TIME so that we can make
arrangements to get the ID Tags to you. You will NOT be allowed on Navy
Property or other activities without the proper ID Tags. We will be serving refreshments and
light finger foods.
SUNDAY CAR SHOW
The Show will be held near the Truman Annex section of the base, in the parking lot of the Key West High School.
The school has parking for around 600 cars, so we should have ample space for exhibitors and the viewing public.
There is an excellent covered area for Venders to set up their booths and there
are also larger spaces available in a grassy field next to the covered area.
The Show is scheduled to open to the public at 9:30AM on Sunday May 27th and will run until 1:30PM, awards and trophies will be handed out at 1:15PM.
Venders and Exhibitors may begin arriving at 7:30AM, but must be in place within the show field by Opening Time at 9:30AM.
Please check the SCHEDULE in the REGISTRATION page for the latest times.
The FCPOA (First Class Petty Officer Association) will have a BBQ concession stand in the Food Court available at lunch time and maybe even some fresh coffee and who knows what else,
for the early arrivals
in the morning!
Show Field Layout
LIVE BAND DURING
SHOW
There will be a live band, The Doerfels, playing thru Sunday's Show with DJ music during the breaks. The Doerfels are a very diversified group, they play anything
ranging from Blue Grass to Rock and Roll and mostly anything before, between, and after. Did I say they were diversified! They have toured all over the country
and are currently wintering in Key West where they appear nightly at different venues throughout the
lower keys.
They have a few CD's for sale in Amazon, iTunes, and other venues, but as a Thank You to you for
registering for the show, they have allowed us to offer you the CD's at a discount from the regular
Amazon, iTunes, and Concert prices. There is an order form in the FORMS section of the REGISTRATION page where you can pre-order them
and get the discount.
We would like to thank The Doerfels for their generosity and helpfulness in
making this show a success! Please visit
Here is a small sampling of their music

TOUR OF NAVAL AIR STATION AND SHIPS
There is a limited capacity for the ships tours. We will have to break up into small groups with different schedules so that you can go right into the ship without having to wait outside for your turn.
You will be given the final information and be able to work out a schedule, at the Welcome Reception.
EVENING BBQ
The Evening BBQ will be provided by the FCPOA, they have done this before and
are very good at it! The menu will depend on the sponsor, but at minimum,
there will be Hamburgers and/or Hot Dogs, with refreshments. Details to be forthcoming.
