  • “Birds by the Bay” Sarasota - Postponed Indefinitely

    Sadly, your “Birds by the Bay” in Sarasota Committee has decided to postpone the 4-day event through next year, 2021, because of the uncertainty of what things will be like for the foreseeable future. We had so many nice events and venues planned, but many of them have either cancelled or greatly changed their offerings at this point in time. Perhaps we will revisit thIs event in 2022. We wanted to inform everyone now in hopes that someone else in our great TBN family would pick up the baton and plan something/somewhere for 2021. “Until we meet again......”

        So sorry to hear this Steve. It's a tough decision but you have made it as you see fit. Thanks for all you put into the event. I hope it will work out in the future.

            Completely understand - still, kudos for the work done on the cancelled event for this year; the itinerary/events were amazing. I've done a lot of classic car "things" over 50 years and the planning for this was "over the top"..

              It takes great planners and plans to live up to the legacy of previous TBN events. We've had some doozies over the years. The Sarasota planners were/are definitely doing it up right and we look forward to whenever they are able to make it happen.
              21 years, 174K miles, 48 States X 2 & DC, 9 Canadian provinces, 8 European countries, 3 Caribbean Islands, 3 Hawaiian Islands, 100+ National Park locations, 150+ T-bird events, 190+ retrobird diecasts/models, 13 TOTM pics & some very special friends...THANKS TBN !

                A trip to Tennessee could even tempt me out of seclusion.

                  That is reason enough to do an event, we will hold you to that.

                    It dawned on me that this is your way of having Liz and me do another event. You are clever.

                        I doubt that she could travel that far in a car. If she does it would need to be in the Chrysler.

                          OK. Let me in on the date selection process. If the weekend is right, I can bring my grandson as well.

                            We might be able to find you a Thunderbird to drive while you are at the event.

                              You know someone with more than one?
                              I told the boss that I’m bringing the grandson for a bonding weekend. He’s never been to that part of the country and we can take a little side trip to Blacksburg. (Never too early to plant the seed) He’s only available to me every other weekend as on the other weekend he’s required to be with his father.
