    The event is now being opened to all Italian Exotics! Will be held at the Farmington Polo Club next year as well. Any owners interested in attending the event? PM me and I can provide further details. I am the Chairman for the event and we are in the planning stages now.

    Thanks,

    Hi guys,
    The show will be on father's day 2011 following the tradition of the past 10 years. Bugattis are very welcome! If you there are any other questions please don't hesitate to ask!

    Looking forward to it Mike! Is this still an FCA event, supporting the Childrens Hospital?

    This is the same Father's Day event at the Capitol, only this year we are having it at the Farmington Poll Club so we can accommodate more cars,i.e., all italian exotics! We will still have the parade of kids and will be adding the Make a Wish foundation as a recipient. We will also have some great vendors and a few surprises that are still in the works. If anyone is interested in being a vendor, pm me and I can give you more details.
    It is still an FCA Event.

    We are thinking of changing the name of the concorso due to the fact that we are now welcoming all Italian exotics. Does anyone have any recommendations? Feel free to post or pm me. One idea was the Concorso Automobili Italia.

    I'd stick with Concorse Italiano. Good luck with the event. Hopefully it will be as good as the one Dave put on at the Capitol for so many years.

    Unfortunately, the folks in Monterey who put on the Concorso Italiano may have a problem with us naming our event the same. So we will need to stay away from that. Maybe just a simple: "Italian Auto Concours?"

    Yes hopefully it will be as good, but things are shaping up to be a phenomenal event between the buzz about opening the event to all Italian Exotics, the parade of kids again, and some great vendors who are already excited about attending. Plus we have some surprises in store to really set it apart!

    Hope to see you there!

    Mike - How about "Concorso Roma" and subtitle it "Celebrating the Automobiles of Italy". It's easier to say and coveys the same meaning.

    I am looking for a few cars, mainly a Lambo Murci. A maserati, and an Sofa for a promotional photo shoot that we are doing on October 16th which we will use for promoting the 2011 Concorso and as a limited edition poster. Please send me a pm if you have 1 of these and let me know if you are interested.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    That is one of the details we are currently working on. It gets a bit tough to judge just Ferraris when we will surely have many other Italian makes. Any suggestions are welcomed. Either way this will be an event you wont want to miss.

    We also just added a live Polo match to the event! This will be the first Polo match to take place at the Polo grounds in 40 years.

    Tutto Italiano at the Larz Anderson auto museum is open to all Italian cars and bikes. They do a great job of judging the different marks, however this is not a FCA event. The Ferraris are even subdivided into numerous categories. It would be a shame not to have at least one concorso to be judged at FCA standards in New England.

    Hi Mike,
    Happy New Year!

    Is there a web site for the 2011 Ferrari and Friends concorso that can be viewed by interested enthusiasts?

    It is listed on the Ferrari web site under upcoming events, just wondering if there will be a link with more detail of the event?

    Has the Childrens Hospital started a page regarding the event for 2011? I did see a write up for the 2010 show that was created after the show, but I'm wondering if any exposure will be displayed in anticipation to this event, by the Childrens Hospital? (poking around some more I found an option that shows events for the next "four" months so I guess its in the making, also found the add for 2010 show on the hospitals site)

    Hi Peter,

    Yes there will be information on the FCA/NER website going into more detail. It should be up in a few weeks. Also, all of our supported charities will have information on their websites promoting the event. We will also be doing TV spots and Radio spots to promote the event. I will post it all up here once it is up.
