    well, looks like has me headed to Orlando for the next 10 weeks. Just seeing what members are around, cruises and show to go to. I'll be staying/living over by the University Central Florida. This is not my first time in Orlando as our training center is there, but this is the longest at one time I will be there.

    There's usually a BOPC show in October. Don't know of anything this time of year except the regular cruise at Old Town every Sat night.. If anyone comes up with anything I'm game! I'm in St Pete/Clearwater area 90 miles away.

    The Olds club of Central Florida had it's BOPC show there for over 20 years. Last year they wanted to charge so they had to move it.

    Ya that was 2 yrs ago. First new place was the Ace Cafe' It wasnt even completed at that time but the show went on and last yr was, i believe at a park in a different city further south. I didnt go to either. I went to their show mostly for the venue as well as the opportunity to hang with some V* Buick guys. Won top 10 awards and several Best Buicks there over the years.

    Seems there's on Every Wednesday too
    https://myoldtownusa.com/events/friday-night-muscle-car-show-cruise/
    Old Town invites show-quality, American-Made Muscle Cars from 1964 and newer and American classics from 1988 and older to join others in the ultimate display of engine power. Cars begin showing up late afternoon and then show off these muscle machines as they drive down the Main Street of Old Town at 8:30pm.

    For the Old Town shows, the cars start up and drive the Old Town streets at 8:30pm then leave
    So get there a few hrs ahead of time to view them all. Then stand on the side of the private road and watch (and smell and hear) them cruise by

    13001 Founders Square Dr, Orlando, FL 32828
