 marquee club
The Marquee Club is selected from amongst the local car clubs, and will park front and center on the show field. It's a great way to showcase your car club.
South East Rods & Customs has been selected as the 2009 Marquee Club. ALL clubs are eligible, and if you would like your club to be considered for a future WinterFest, contact FlaCarShows.com for more info. |

 club and group info
Club and group parking is encouraged, and there should be plenty of room for everyone.
Clubs and groups traveling together should plan to meet somewhere close by, and enter the show together. It'll accomplish two things...insure that you'll be parking together, and help keep the parking crew's blood pressure near normal.
If you plan to attend with MORE than ten vehicles, please let us know how many, so that we can arrange sufficient parking for your group in advance.
If your club is hosting an upcoming event, you can supply us with your event flyers before February 8th. We'll include 100 of them in the goody bags, put the rest on the registration table, and you won't have to walk the show field handing them out!
You can add this linked mini flyer (shown actual size at right) to your web site. To add it, highlight the code by pressing Select Code, press Ctrl+C to copy it to your clipboard, then paste it into your web site where you want it to appear. The artwork remains on our server, so there's nothing to download.
