The 2010 FCTCC is quickly approaching, on Saturday and Sunday 2/27 and 2/28 we will be heading to beautiful Tallahassee Florida to see who has what it takes to represent Florida at the ITCC this summer.
I would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to all who have helped out by supporting the upcoming event. We have had some amazing companies and great people step forward to help make this TCC happen. There is no way it could be done without all of the amazing support.
If you are donating and/or sponsoring the event and have not spoken or emailed Jennifer directly please do so soon, printing of literature will begin this week, and all logos and company names need to be in by mid week if you want to be listed.
If you still need to make hotel reservations, please do so before the hotel stops our group rate ($70/night, group rate FLTCC) Country Inn & Suites 3096 N. Monroe St Tallahassee 32303 (850)701-2850. I am told it is about a 15 minute drive from the park. Your credit card will not be charged until you check in, so please reserve now.
If you are competing PLEASE let us know ASAP and get your registration in to the office, registrations can be found at
www.FloridaISA.org please remember you have to be a current ISA member. There is also a spot for volunteers to download a volunteer form.
Also please take a few moments to review the rules online at:

The first 50 registered competitors and/or volunteers and sponsors are invited to a proper pruning class taught by Dr. Ed Gilman, the class will begin at 10AM at Myers park, and last until 12 Noon, at which point there will be a 1 hour break (please BRING a lunch, or be prepared to leave to eat, lunch will NOT be provided on Friday). Then from 1-3PM, Lieutenant Dave from the DOT will provide a class on safe loading and what to expect in an inspection. There is limited space for these classes, so PLEASE register now before all spots are filled. If you show up and there is space we will allow you to participate, however if all spots are filled and your name is not on the list sadly you will be asked to leave.
Gear check will begin on Friday if you are available please let us know, we are in hopes to get most, if not all gear checked on Friday to ensure a quick start on Saturday morning.
If you will be a head judge at any given station, please contact either Gabe, or Scotty, (numbers listed below) head judges are being asked to be available to set up their event.
We are looking forward to a great competition, and welcoming a few new friends.
