Getting Ready for Tampa Freedom Fest

Shop build out is at about 70%.
Painting is done (with the exception of a little touchup here and there). 1100 sqft of tile is still stacked at the back door waiting to get laid this weekend.
The tile is going to have to wait, however because at the moment I’m at the shop expecting a shipment of 11 bikes from Kona via UPS that should arrive any moment now. At least 6 of those bikes will need to be assembled (by me) this afternoon / evening so we can bring them down to Freedom Fest tomorrow morning.
Kellie and I will have a tent setup just a few feet from the new Tampa Bay History Museum on Tampa’s Cotanchobee Park starting at 10am and running to 6pm both Saturday and Sunday. City Bike Tampa is sponsoring FREE 20 minute Tampa Riverwalk history tours this weekend.
Rumor has it that the rain clouds we’ve been sitting under for the past [feels like] 2 weeks are getting set to break. Come down and see us!
If you can get to the Tampa Convention Center a little early, the new Sail Pavilion is set for its grand opening at 10am on Saturday, 5/23/2009.
The Sail Pavilion on the Riverwalk will provide cool beverages, snacks, and relaxation to strollers, joggers, dog walkers, boaters, bicycle riders, conventioneers, hotel guests, Riverwalk explorers, downtown visitors and neighbors. Public docking space is also available for our boating guests.
For opening day festivities throughout Memorial Day weekend guests will be entertained by Steve Jordan while sipping on a variety of beverages including your favorite “Little Umbrella Drink” or a cold beer, soft drink or healthy beverage. Have fun, eat great food, and listen to live music!
It’s a Dog Friendly Retreat complete with stainless steel water dishes, a clean up station and complimentary dog bones. We will also offer Frosty Paws and Mr. Barksmith Dog Smoothies on our Doggie Menu. Bring your four pawed pals and enjoy Tampa’s Riverwalk. We will be open regularly Tuesday-Saturday, 4p-10p, beginning Tuesday, May 26, 2009.
See you there!
