Default Florida Flywheelers...

Has anyone been to the Florida Flywheelers event in Fort Meade, Florida? Their main event is always the last week of February?

We have been the last 3 years and have had an outstanding time. It is a 240 acre park that primarily features old tractors, engines, saw mills, tractor pulls, cars, bull dozers, vintage villages etc. Great fun for the wife and kids too!

Ryan,

That sounds very similar to the Midwest Threshers Reunion http://www.oldthreshers.org/ held every labor day week in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. I had attempted to attend it a few years ago, but got there too late to get an electrical hookup and at the same time my generator had decided to start having problems staying running and having the animals with me, I decided not to take the chance at dry camping, someday I'll get to attend it as it is only a short drive south of my old hometown.

There is an organization here in PA, www.roughandtumble.org, that has a similar event that I attended last week. Most of the tractors were coal-fired and the smell of steam and sulphur was great! It is located in the heart of PA Dutch country. We're going to the fall event during our Blue Bird rally in Hershey over Columbus Day.

Florida Flywheelers is coming up the 25th~28th of February. It really is a great time! Several thousand people and at least a thousand campers of all shapes and sizes. I have about 9 RVing families already planning to attend. We will probably be to the right (east) of the main drive as you come in. Feel free to email for more info. Hope to see some of you there. We will be getting in Thursday evening around dark. It is dry camping with a daily pumper truck available. Bring a golf cart too!!

My family used to go to Pioneer Days at Zolpho Springs for years (my parents went there on a date). For the past few years I have been wanting to get to the the Avon Park event. Several of our local car clubs have talked about attending, so maybe this year I'll bring the Bird and the Stanley.

Are there any other BB's coming? Would love to meet with some other owners while we are there.

Dear Adam,

Your Stanley (Steamer?) would be too cool to see. They do several parades a day with various vehicles, you could tag along too!

I have only ever seen 1 other Wanderlodge there in recent years. It is a 1979/80 FC in the flea market area in "well used" condition. I was there for the November show and had a couple of guys come by my FC out of curiosity.

There is alot of camping room and a BB area would be cool. Last year we had 7 campers together in our group. Come on down, it really is a great, relaxing time for all. Wife, kids, dogs etc.

I heard they had over 3000 RV's last year, see the picture. As a matter of fact the brochure aerial picture is from 2007 and my BB is in the lower right corner of the picture 4th from the right with my trailer barely visible behind. Does that make me famous?

Hope to see you there! You Too Randy!!
