Jim, My wife Ginger and I are planning to attend the Tampa show and would be happy to volunteer to assist at a second Heartland display. Please include us in your list of volunteers for the show.

Hi Glenn,

I just learned that the two Heartland displays will be outdoors and side-by-side. Being next to each other, the thought is that one club table will be sufficient. So, while it's looking like we will not need anymore volunteers, please feel free to stop by our table to say hello. See you in Tampa!

We'll be at the show and Jan and Bob (Landmark) will be joining us. We'll be staying at Williston Crossings for the winter.

Would love to visit when you are in Tampa -- we are Heartland members and have attended other rallies -- own a 2011 Heartland Landmark (Augusta) -- we are staying at the MacDill AFB and too close to bring the trailer to the Rally but would love to maybe do a dinner and see Heartland friends we know -- see you then.

Tampa Show Volunteers - Thank you! We are all set. The schedule is complete, the volunteer details document is done, I sent in a contract to our volunteer's thank you dinner restaurant and the dinner details document is complete as well. Both documents will be emailed to you very soon!

Wait Listed Volunteers - Thank you for your patience. Several have already been called up and we are down to just a couple left on the list. Should we have any cancellations, I will start going down the list :)

To everyone following this thread, if you're planning to attend the Tampa Show, please stop by the Heartland displays to see the latest products and say hello to the volunteers. Heartland products will be displayed in plots 700 (America Choice), 710 (La Mesa) and 720 (Camping World).

See you in Tampa!

It looks like Lazydays is getting of being a Heartland dealer. Not showing at the Tampa show and very few on their website.

Yes my husband talked to a salesman there two days ago about a Landmark and they told him they would not have any at the show and were trying to get rid of what they have.

I believe Lazy Days now only carries Cyclone (other than their lot stock) and we are not having them show Cyclone at the show. I don't know any details on why, but seem's they're all but out of being a Heartland dealer. I'll post what brands and floor plans we'll be showing in Tampa.

Wonder if it has anything to do with Camping World right next door???

When we were at Lazy Days this past January (after the RV show), we were told that Camping World was moving down the road due to "conflicts of interest" between them and Lazy Days. I think Camping World's new site is on out I-5, a couple of exits past Lazy Days.

Units "planned" (but not guaranteed) to be shown at the Tampa show are listed in the PDF attached to post #1 of this thread. The models are too hard to read next to each floorplan image but a readable list appears in the margin.

Jim, I shifted our LazyDays reservation to arrive 15 January, leave 20 January. This was done to accommodate working the show Sunday 19 January.

CONFIRMED VOLUNTEERS:
An email has just been sent to each of you with 2 attachments. One are the show/volunteer details and the other is the details for the volunteer dinner.

If you are on the list of volunteers with a designated shift(s) as listed in post #1 of this thread and did NOT receive the email, please email me via the forum and I will resend it to you.

If you are on the list and your plans change, please contact me right away - so I can activate an alternate. My email and phone are listed in the documents.

ALTERNATES:
If your name is listed at the bottom of post # 1 of this thread as an alternate, you still may be contacted to replace anyone who needs to bow out. I realize that the closer we get to show time, the less likely it will be for alternates to be available. We'll do our best to contact you as soon as we know we need you.

If you are not on the alternate list and wish to be placed on it, please reply to this thread and I will add you.

Thanks team and we'll see you in Tampa soon!

Bill and I will be at the show and will definitely stop by to meet you guys! We were originally planning to finalize which unit we wanted at this show, but since we already made our purchase, we can just relax and enjoy!

Looking forward to meeting some of you!
