Eggfests near Tampa?

Options
I am searching for an Eggfest near my Dad. He is in Seminole FL. He wants an Egg and more importantly has permission from SWMBO, but wants a deal. I told him the way to go is get a demo Egg at a festival with full warranty. Does anyone know of anything coming up in FL?

    I saw an event happening in the Brooksville area, but looked kind if small. I must admit, Egging it 10 feet away from the beach and 40 feet away from the Atlantic surf rolling is very hard to beat - Melborne .

    If I'm not mistaken, last year there was one in Windermere but I can't find any evidence of there being one there this year.

    I's still go to the website and call around to every dealer that you could get to.  I'm amazed at the WIDE range of prices they charge.  I live east of Tampa and saw $200 difference between dealers Tampa and Mulberry.

    Thanks for the info @thetrim $200 makes the old man happy! Even if it costs him $100 in gas and all day driving!

    Could always wait until October for Eggtoberfest. It's good time and great deals on BGE's. It's about a 6 1/2 hour ride from Tampa. The worst part is waiting in that long line for your BGE to cool down.

    There have been quite a few Larges popping up on Craigslist over the past few months.  Most are in the $500-$600 range.
