THE FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL IS BACK ON!!!!!

Post by reeltackle »

THE FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL IS BACK NEXT MONTH!!! :D

We have found a new venue for the Florida International Show with lots of space. The show is all set for Friday the 24th, Saturday the 25th, and Sunday the 26th of February at the World Golf Village Renaissance Resort and Convention Center in St. Augustine Florida.

This is a great, new facility right off I-95 in St. Augustine with the convention center adjacent to the hotel with an easy loading zone. The room rate is $140.00 a night and is good for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday nights. Come Thursday for room trading and stay Monday for a little fishing or golf if you are so inclined. Room rates this time of year at this resort run $350 a night plus so we are getting a "reel" bargain at $140 a night. Show set-up will be Friday night, the show will run all day Saturday, Sunday with break-down Monday morning.

To make your Hotel reservations -

As usual, the FATC is carving out an ORCA section just for us reel collectors! I would advise you to make your hotel and table reservations quickly, this show will sell out!!

There are just a few ORCA tables left so make your reservations now for, what some consider, the best reel show in the country.

I am the co-host along with Larry Lucas for the show this year in St. Augustine.
Just a quick note to say thank you to all that are attending this year. If any of you have any questions about local restaurants, shopping, sites to see, etc., please don't hesitate to ask me. I live one mile from the hotel and will be onsite every day starting this Thursday at 1:00 pm.
