 Are there
any special handicap facilities at
your park?
-- There are 2 public
restrooms (near the Snow building
and near the Tractor pull) Both are
equipped with a stall with handicap
door width and with a ramp to the
building. The other "facilities"
are rented porta-potties for the show.
If you are camping with us, there
is one handicap width stall in each
of these public restrooms.
Pavement is almost non-existent. After
all, it is in the country and is a
former cow field. There are gravel/shell
roads in the village and to the major
buildings. Most of our large public
buildings are at grade or do have
ramps. The buildings in the village
may or may not have ramps. Many are
owned and built by senior citizens
who have mobility issues of their
own.
There is special parking for those
who have legitimate handicap stickers.
You may then ride our trams around
the park.
There are also rental golf carts available
just inside the gate. You may also
bring in your own scooter or golf
cart for free with a valid handicap
sticker. Those who do not have the
handicap sticker pay $5 a day to bring
in their own golf cart.
Do
you have a classified section? I want
to sell a 1948 Farmall F-Cub with
plow.
-- If you meant this
website, no. We do have a swap/4 sale
section in our member newsletter.
Only members are allowed to advertise
in the newsletter. If you are a member,
please contact the editors directly
to place your item. Otherwise, why
not bring it to display and sell at
one of our shows?
I
have a small dressed up lawn tractor
and small trailer with bench seat
for my brother. Can i bring it in
the event like a golf cart.
-- Yes, the small lawn
tractors can be used for personal
transportation if they are less than
6 feet wide (like a Deere Gator or
Kawasaki Mule). You will have to pay
$5 to bring it onto the grounds, like
all golf cart owners do.
IF
I COME IN WITH MY 23 FT MOTOR HOME
THE WEEK BEFORE THE SHOW TO REGISTER
FOR A CAMP SITE, DO I HAVE TO LEAVE
MY MOTOR HOME THERE AT THAT TIME OR
CAN I COME BACK ON THE 20TH OR 21ST
AND SET UP.
-- Yes, you may return
later to set up if you prepay for
the site.
Will you
be having a Flea Market this winter,
and if so, when?
-- There is a flea market at every
one of our three shows.
I was
wondering how to get a membership
directory. I have one that's a couple
years old and would like one that's
up to date.
-- A new one is published every year
by the membership clerk. If you did
not get yours, check to see that your
membership is current. We do not keep
old issues of the directory once they
run out.
I
am a food vendor interested in selling
at one of your shows. Please mail
me applications for your events along
with details about each event so that
I can provide you with detailed information
about what I can offer to your events.
-- Please send
your resume with a description of
your menu to the attention of the
Food Vendor Coordinator at the club
mailing address: Florida Flywheelers,
2007 Avon Park Cutoff Rd., Ft Meade
FL 33841.
I
am planning to attend the February
Flywheelers Show and I will be driving
down from the Central Kentucky Area.
I would like to know which days of
the event would be best for me to
attend if my main interests are in
Model T's and hit and miss engines
including vendors for parts. Could
you recommend hotels near the festival
so I can go ahead and make reservations
now.
-- We have Model T's
and Hit 'n Miss engines at all of
our shows. Our biggest show for vendors
is the February show. We have a list
of hotels with contact information
and links to their websites if you
will click the
hotel page link.
We were
just at your village and it is beautiful.
I was curious as to if you have any
places left for someone to buy and
build and display in your villiage?
-- All buildings on the grounds belong
to the club. Buildings in the village
are built by a member after getting
approval from the board of directors.
Only members in good standing with
approval subject to local county inspection
laws may build on Florida Flywheelers
property.
By the
way, when do you guys get together
for tractor pulls and shows?
-- The show dates are posted on the
show dates
page. Pull dates are posted on
the tractor pull
page.
I am
interested in attending the Jan. show,
however, I wanted to find out if this
weekend has the 2- mile garage sale
or is it held the weekend in Feb?
-- Every one of our shows has a sale
area. It is over 40 acres in size
and continues to grow as our club
grows.
Could
you please tell us how much it costs
to rent a golf cart for the day for
4 people?
-- There is a link at the bottom of
the home
page to Mid Florida Golf Carts.
You may also phone them. They are
an independent business and set their
own prices.
What
day is the parade?
-- There are two parades a day during
each show. You can look at the show
events schedule on this page, click
here.
We are
planning to drive over for the January
show on Saturday only with a group
in a 30' RV - will we have any problem
parking in your public parking area
for the day?
-- We have a large field for daily
parking. Should you decide to stay
the night, you will be charged for
a camping space even if you are parked
in the parking lot.
Are dogs
allowed at the Engine and Tractor
Swap Meet?
-- Pets are allowed with the following
rules: 1) Clean up after your pet
2) Walk your pet on a leash 3) No
pets in the food areas and 4) Quiet
time is after 11PM.
Do you
have a schedule of events for your
Feb. show? We are trying to decide
which days to attend.
-- Basically most of the events are
the same every day, except for the
tractor pull. Click
here to see the show schedule
and click here
to see the tractor pull schedule.
I would
like to know if there will be any
model a parts at the for sale at the
february show?
-- The flea market and swap meet is
different every year. Join us and
have fun treasure hunting!
How may
we obtain full hookup reservations
for our 37 ft. motorhome?
-- We do not have sewer hookups. At
this time, reservations are only taken
in person at the show before the show
you want to attend. You may come up
to one week before the show and prepay
for your space then.
What
are the sizes of your flea market/vendor
sites?
-- They are approximately 15 feet
wide by 30 feet long. The sites on
the ends of the rows are more expensive.
MY FATHER
USED TO BE A MEMBER OF YOUR CLUB YEARS
BACK. WHEN HE PASSED AWAY IN 2000
I WAS LEFT WITH A 1952 LAWN TRACTOR.
I WOULD LIKE TO DONATE IT TO THE CLUB
IN HIS HONOR. I DONT JUST WANT JUNK
IT.
-- The club does accept donations
of equipment and engines. Please contact
the board to see if it is appropriate
to give it to us and whether there
would be someone willing to come and
get it.
