Thinking about it. It's only 645 miles for me, an easy two-day trip, and I don't have other commitments that would create a schedule conflict.

Never been there before, and the web page said pricing will be similar to their other events— which I also haven't attended before. So what kind of price range are we looking at, in a rough ballpark sort of way?

It's $95 per adult + $295 for the week long park fee. Seemed reasonable for a week long event. Includes a number of meals and activities. It will be our first "event". Only 2 hours from our home base, so we couldn't pass it up!

We've attended Alumaflamingo in past (Sarasota) and Alumapalooza (Jackson Center). Both were fun events - it's a blast. Go with an open mind, remain flexible, attend some seminars, you'll have a good time.

We had hoped to attend Alumaflamingo (Daytona) but it conflicts with the Tin Can Tourist rally held near Brooksville, Fla. Depending on the 2018 dates we may be able to attend again in the future.

Be sure to post pictures on the thread for others to see. Some of us will have to be content living vicariously.

Is this open to all Airstreams as in motorhomes too or just the trailers?

Reason I ask is cause I understand the TinCan group does not welcome the more expensive high end fiberglass Airstream motorhomes at their functions.

I've seen a variety of RVs at Aluma events. It's my understanding that any RV is welcome, regardless of brand. So, yes, Airstream motorhomes are welcome. I wouldn't be surprised if you're the only fiberglass motorhome, or one of just a few in attendance but if you're okay with that I'm sure everyone else will be okay too. Go and have fun.

Regarding Tin Can events - they certainly seem to draw an eclectic group of RVs and most are vintage or unusual in some way. However, I've seen brand new RVs, albeit they were small and "cute" in a retro sort of way, at Tin Can events. I am not aware that Tin Can events exclude anyone. They do sometimes have events that are for particular RVs such as canned hams, or other specialty rallies, but I feel sure you'd be welcome at any Tin Can event other than those specialty events.

Aluma events and Tin Can are both very welcoming - it's all about having fun in a casual atmosphere.

The event finishes with a race watching party, for those who don't buy tickets and choose to attend. Your campsite is included for Sunday night.

I have hard time finding anything about Alumaflamingo 2017 like schedule or sign up for activities. Find a lot about 2015 and 2016.
Anybody has an idea where to find a list of activities?
Thanks

Peter
