Porsches and Museums – Edison and Ford Winter Estates and Museum Tour then lunch at Pinchers on Saturday October 19, 2019 (Ft. Meyers, FL)
Please join us for a tour of the “Edison and Ford Winter Estates” followed by a lunch at “Pinchers at the Marina at Edison Ford”.
Did you know that Thomas Edison and Henry Ford spent many winters in Fort Myers? Did you know that Edison, Ford and Harvey Firestone created the Edison Botanical Research Corporation to try to find a domestic source of natural rubber? Did you know the estate site is a Florida Historic Landmark and the lab is a National Historical Chemical Landmark?
A site historian will give us a 60 minute guided tour of the homes and gardens of the Edison and Ford families. Following the tour you are free to browse on your own through the Edison Ford Museum, the Edison Botanic Research Laboratory, the Museum Store and the Garden Shoppe. Lunch will be at Pinchers, which is accessible via a garden path directly from the grounds of the estates. Pinchers is right on the water and their seafood comes highly recommended for you to purchase! Your tour entry ticket is good for the full day so those wishing to do some more browsing of the estates may do so after lunch. There will be a designated group parking area where we are free to leave our cars parked until we depart for the day.
The guided tour will start promptly at 10 a.m. Please plan to arrive at the parking area between 9:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. so that we can get everyone checked in. Most of the tour is outside – please dress accordingly as it may be a warm day. Note that smoking and vaping are not permitted anywhere on the estates site. Only Service Animals are allowed – all other pets and animals are not permitted. Wheel chairs are available at no cost and on a first come, first served basis.
Lunch

“Test Drive”
October 26th, 2019
Come join your fellow members in the second annual Test Drive!!
We are targeting all members to come out and explore all that your Suncoast PCA has to offer.
The day is designed to let you explore and test some of the things you have heard about but have not yet tried.
You can participate in one of two ways:
Begin the day at Sebring International Raceway where you will have:
• An introductory Autocross
• An introductory Driver’s Education
• Skid Pad Exercises
• Tech and how-to workshops to learn more about your car.
In Addition, for those not interested in “exercising” your car:
Begin the day with a tour to Sebring that begins in your area.
•Tour groups will meet in the Sarasota and Tampa areas of our region.
•Each tour will go to a common fun and exciting location for lunch and then proceed to Sebring International Raceway to learn more and have fellowship with other club members. This year, you will be able to participate in the introductory Autocross, participate in the skid pad exercises and take part in the workshops.
The day will culminate with the “social of the year.” We will provide food and drink, fun and music, so we can all learn more about why we have so much fun in our club!!! The theme of the social will be Halloween so be sure to remember your best costume!
We suggest spending the night in a Sebring area hotel and hope to be able to secure discounted rates for our members.
Cost is $70 per person
Registration will go live at ClubRegistration.net soon so save the date!!.
Keep an eye on Facebook and www.suncoastpca.org for more details.
