Operation-SOS Honors Gulf War Troops w/Celebration, Bike/Car Show and Vendor Fair
Now it is simply a blacktop parking lot in front of a restaurant. But be prepared, on August 2, 11am, it will be a hub of activity as headquarters for Operation-SOS (Supporting Our Soldiers).
Operation-SOS is a custom car and bike show, a vendor fair and a welcome home celebration for the troops returning from the Gulf War. Its goal is to raise funds to erect a monument in Al Lopez Park to honor the soldiers that have fallen in this war.
Hosted by Florida Veterans Assistance Association and sponsored by Full Throttle Magazine, Wild Wing Caf?, Fever Racing, BigDog, SR Performance, Eurocycles of TampaBay, Veterans Ford, Kens Mobile Dyno, Sunoco Race Fuels, 813 Customs, ProCoat Performance Coating, The WriteOne Creative Services, and Venom Custom Choppers, Operation-SOS brings the best in automobile and motorcycle artistry to one location.
Vendors from all over Tampa Bay will be displaying their wares in 56 booths set up in the parking lot in front of Wild Wing Caf?, 9210 Anderson Road. While fans can linger over the exquisite display of customized automobiles and choppers up for judging at 2pm, bike enthusiasts have the opportunity to purchase a raffle ticket and potentially own a Venom Custom Chopper at 5pm, the close of the event. And Operation SOS did not forget about the car guy. An auction will be held at 4pm for automobile performance parts.
There will be live entertainment and vocalist, Erin Brea will open the event with the National Anthem.
