2008 Vintage Weekend Winners
 

 
Each year on the first weekend in December, Ocean Reef Club hosts Vintage Weekend, a four-day celebration of antique and classic planes, automobiles and yachts. It’s a time of camaraderie, live music, great food, a road rally and entertainment. The honored guests are fellow enthusiasts who own, restore, maintain and love their conveyances, and make it possible for all of us to enjoy them.


Special Opportunities for a Special Weekend
As Ocean Reef Club is a private club, The Vintage Weekend is open only to members and invited guests staying at the Inn, who are registered for full participation. The registration fee to attend all Vintage Weekend Events is $375 per person. Fully registered participants are invited to spend Thursday through Saturday nights at the Inn for a special rate of $230 per night, and extend their stay through Sunday night, compliments of Ocean Reef Club. Exhibiting? Also stay Wednesday night, December 2, on us. *Subject to availability. Taxes and daily service charge additional.

 For 15 years, the proud owners of Vintage cars, yachts and airplanes have come together for a weekend of fun and camaraderie at Ocean Reef Club.

This year, new events and festivities bring a fresh air of excitement to the celebration. Included are a Friday Ice Cream Social in The Fishing Village; additional Road Rally stops to an Everglades Alligator Farm and the legendary Robert is Here! Tropical fruit stand; a special, private screening of the 1963 classic comedy, “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,” and more.

And of course, traditional Vintage Weekend favorites – from Friday’s luncheon and flyover at
Alabama Jacks, to Saturday’s celebratory Dinner Dance and Sunday’s Farewell Brunch - are planned as well. We hope you will join us for another weekend of fun in honor of these classic conveyances.
