I agree, I have spent many winters on Marco Island. Great Times and Memories

Went to several car shows and swap meets here in Ohio over the past 8 months and virtually nobody wears a mask outside. Ditto with fall Carlisle.

But Naples is the current epicenter of the "mask push back" as publicized in the national media right now due to the reporting surrounding Oakes Farms Seed to Table Market right there in Naples.

Looks like it will be a great show however but I could see the potential for somebody (just out to have a good time at the show) getting filmed for the internet or placed on TV, as part of the mask debate.

Live cruise is every Saturday evening at Old Town on the strip.

That's it ! We happened to be there on a Sat at the go kart track and these cars started rolling in and parking. Now that I think about it, it was 12 years ago. Our son was 12 and we were down there for spring break. The wife and son had to endure a couple hours of me looking at cars that evening...

THANKS ! We are only there for 1 Saturday, the 20th, so I will try to plan that as the Kissimmee Day.

I attended this show last year and man, more plastic walking around than was being displayed on four wheels!

It was a very good show but just over run with a sea of people which made it hard to even see the cars. I was looking for a Ferrari 328 GTS to buy at the time and was able to see a few which got me zoinked to finally buy one. Way more Ferraris and exotics than vintage muscle, but a cool show none the less!

Cheers

I made it down to the show this year. They limited the number of people to I think 15K this year vs something like 35K in prior years - might be off on those numbers.
Still a great show, and the further you go down 5th towards the beach, the thinner the crowd got. I would say that the percentage of mask wearers was probably 10% to maybe 20%. And by the way, Seed to Table is an awesome place; you can wear a mask if you choose to, or you can choose not to. I personally like Alfie Oakes, but the new report and footage of Seed to Table made people go absolutely crazy. Regardless as to how you feel about a mask and choose to wear one, I highly recommend going there as it's just a cool place.
I videoed some of the people leaving the show and there are some other pics here:

Here are the only pics I took, mainly for my son who likes the exotics. The FB post above has 3 videos that I took when people were leaving.
