Sharing the official announcement stating the 2020 Bay Life Car Show and Craft Fair will not be rescheduled this year.
Time to look forward and start the work to make the 2021 event the best ever.

Next year’s show should again be the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend - May,29th 2021.

Look forward to seeing many of you soon,
Robert

Here is the official announcement...

This was a hard decision, but we feel it is the right one. The Bay Life Car Show 2020 is cancelled...and we hope to pick back up in 2021. This decision was because of the ambiguity in our country concerning the Coronavirus, and there are no fall dates on the calendar that would work for us at Bay Life to be able to host the show.

We hope everyone is able to be understanding of this situation, and we are thankful for your dedication to us!

05/15/2020

The 15th Annual Bay Life Car Show and Craft Fair planned for Sat, May 23rd is postponed. The new date has not been finalized (as of 5/14/2020).

The event is not cancelled - just postponed.

You can expect the new fall 2020 date to be posted here as soon as Bay Life announces the final decision for the “make up” date. This decision will be based on Florida’s guidelines for opening and permitting larger gatherings and events.

Miss seeing you all at car shows, and I truly look forward to us all getting together for a great time again as soon as possible,

Robert

The decision was made to postpone the 15th Annual Bay Life Car Show and Craft Fair. The event will be postponed to later this year.

While the exact date has not yet been selected, “the show will go on” this fall.

Anyone who pre-registered and made a donation will have the donation amount returned in the same method payment was made.

I sure hope things open up soon, and I get to see many of you at car shows where we can all have an opportunity to laugh & catch up with each other.

For now, I hope everyone remains healthy, and each and everyone of you find ways to have fun.

More soon,
Robert

Wanted to share this old article, and I have always thought the Mopar 413 was one of coolest looking engines.

Exciting announcement for the 15th Annual Bay Life Car Show and Craft Fair in 2020!!!

For the first time - we will start a new invitation only “Showcase” as a special feature within the larger event.

Our first official “Showcase” will feature special Mid-Engine Cars.

The goal is to invite some new exotics along with the very special race cars and rare mid-engine vehicles from the past!

Let me know what vehicles you want to see.

Also let me know what you think of the new look logo for 2020. We plan to revise the outline vehicle each year. We are looking to create some really nice T-shirts and more using his new look.
Let me know your thoughts - Robert

Excited about attending this weekend’s Mid Florida Auto Show and Lake Mirror Concourse in Lakeland.
This has always been a “bucket list” level show for me. Great setting with fantastic people...and the best part is all the rare and incredible vehicles to appreciate!

I will be there Friday evening for the “Hot Rod Rendezvous” and apparently helping with some M.C. duties. Will also be there on Saturday for main event.

The show organizers have been kind enough to allow the Bay Life Car Show an opportunity to share our information with everyone attending the Mid Florida Car Show and Lake Mirror Concourse.

We will have a vendor booth at the corner of Lemon St. and S. Iowa Av. This is right near Lake Mirror.
Please be sure to strop by and say hello. Plus I will definitely take time to walk around and see all the amazing vehicles on display throughout downtown Lakeland!

Hello everyone,
A bunch of pictures from the 2019 Bay Life Car Show and Craft Fair are now posted on the other “official” car show page.

You will find many very interesting angles and close up views of special vehicle features. Plus a ton of snapshots of what I hope is every vehicle at the event. I certainly saw a few pictures of vehicles I missed the day of the car show.

Photos include all the trophy winners receiving awards. So if you won a trophy, you are there.

To view all these and other past event photos, just look for Bay Life Car Show on Facebook and you will see the other official page. There are multiple options for the 2019 event pictures on the page, and these are not duplicates.

Look forward to everyone’s feedback on the pictures...Robert

The stage is being set (literally) for the Bay Life Car Show and Craft Fair tomorrow.

05/24/2019

Looking like tomorrow will be dry.
The Famous Tate main stage is being set up as I type this.

You will not want to miss the opening ceremony at 10am as we honor God, country and our military heroes.
Our own Bob Thompkins will show his amazing singing talent tomorrow morning with our National Anthem, and the Durant High School JROTC Honor Guard Will present the colors.
We will also have a display of military vehicles from multiple eras.
Let your friends know this is going to be a fun event!

I have not killed a love bug in two days. All you show car owners can plan on driving to the Bay Life Car Show this weekend without the worry of all those love bugs piling up on your vehicles.

The pre-registered list of amazing and rare vehicles continues to grow. Please let everyone know we need to stop accepting pre-registration for show cars on Thursday, 5/23 at noon. We have to stop accepting online registrations to be sure everyone’s paperwork is completed, printed and waiting for those pre-registered to arrive Saturday morning.

I recommend you pre-register online at www.baylife.org/carshow prior to Thursday so you can go to the “express line.” You can still register on Saturday morning, and our registration process has been a strength! It is going to be a fun event!

Thank you to the many folks who have already pre-registered for the show. Activity has certainly picked up over the last 3 days as another 100 of you pre-registered you show vehicles over the weekend.

I saw the band rehearsal last Thursday evening, and it is worth attending just for the concert!
