Hi Everyone -

Now that September is here (can you believe it?) wanted to announce to everyone a new feature this year - a kart track for kids run by Grand Prix New York, in addition to the Kid's fun tent run by Make-A-Wish Foundation® of CT.

Also want to mention Rob has donated a cool Ferrari Chat Membership package and Ferrari Chat gear, both up for auction!

Finally, Black Horse Garage is bringing some very special cars that you won't want to miss!

We hope to see you all there!

Wow, time sure does fly! We'll have the Fairfield County concours in Westport in a couple of weeks and then the Festa di Ferrari in Stamford.

I've been each year since 2004, which might have been the first one. It's a great time, always very spacious with no crowding and a lot of time to meet people and chat. Last year I met several well known personalities in the Ferrari world, including one with a 400i 5 speed not too many s/n's away from mine.

Looking forward to another great show.

 

Yes, I agree let's not forget the Fairfield County event, September 12/13!

 

6th Annual Scarsdale Concours is also on the same date.

The Scarsdale Concours is a 10X better show! See you there Evan.

 

WOW Ferrarispeed, nice job hijacking a thread. I will see everyone at the Festa Di Ferrari show! Look for my vendor booth there, I will have some new art I completed on display. If you stop by, let me know you saw me here for a FCHAT Discount!

I've really enjoyed this event in the past and plan on bringing my 3 year old son. Perfect relaxed/kid friendly event with lots of room. Is there any chance Jim's P4/5 will be there?

 

Thanks Mike,

I am working with Paul and Darry and look forward to seeing you there!

 

The Stamford Festa di Ferrari is for a good cause.....Why do you have to slam it and say something else is better???? Ok go to Scarsdale and have fun with the snobs of Westchester....I'm going to Stamford and raise money for charity

Ciao Ciao

 

Ouch. I say both events are fantastic and have only heard great things about Stamford Festa di Ferrari. It is unfortunate they happen to be on the same day. They have things in common which are raising money for charities and involving the love of cars which we all enjoy. I hope Stamford Festa di Ferrari has fantastic cars as they have had for the past 4 years and great weather!

 

He pulled a Kanye!!

 

Thanks for the kind words with respect to the Festa, I can personally tell you we are working very hard literally as I write this to bring a great show with some new surprises.

 

Concours shows tend to be snobbish. I was at the Stamford show last year and it had a low turn because of morning rain I think and it was the first Ferrari show I ever attend when I was still dreaming of owning a Ferrari.

I want to go again this time with my F car but don't know if I will be up to the drive from Cape May. I will be at a show Oct 3

 

Get your facts straight. The Scarsdale show is for charity as well. Have fun at the Stamford show seeing the same 5 Ferrari models show up in multiples, I will be down in scardale viewing the multitude of interesting marques that is ever changing from year to year. You accuse me of "slamming" the show(which I did not-just said there is a better one to go to) yet you make a blanket statement about the "snobs" of westchester-once again lack of facts.

 

I think what he meant by "slamming" is when you said, "there is a better one to go to." This thread was mentioning the Festa di Ferrari and was about that, not the Scarsdale show. You can clearly start a thread on the Scarsdale show, but this was not the thread to mention it in.

 

I agree with Mike - we all know there are many shows on such a busy calendar and personally I wish Festa and Scarsdale were not at the same time as I'd like to do both, however I am part of FCA/NER and have been working with Paul and Darry for several months on the Festa, so of course I am going to be excited and promote our Stamford event.

Ferrarichat, now with it's partnership with the FCA, is a great place to advertise our events and that is all I am doing here. This is car shows for charity, we can all get along here guys!

As for the Festa, we are working now on securing some exciting cars that are sure to be a hit and we hope to see you all there!
