Step 2: Let FCA Know You’re Coming!
FCA member Bill Scott has been attending this event for the past 20 years and will be there! If you have questions, you can reach out to him at 727-466-7432.
Notes from Bill: Friday night, there is an open bar, and you sit in a private area on the second level. Saturday night, there are also live and silent auctions. Some previous items auctioned have been a tour of Jay Leno’s garage, a week in Lake Tahoe, Tuscany, Napa Valley, etc. There are also normally around 20 celebrities and sports stars at this event, such as Christopher McDonald, Kato Kaelin, Paul Teutul Sr., Jim Craig, Jim Kelly, etc. The event also includes a shutdown on I4 for our bus ride from downtown Celebration to the Hard Rock! Truly an incredible event, and something you should register for as soon as possible to secure your spot!
