How do I register? What does it get me?
Deadline: May 31st Register Early! If you are one of the first 30 people to register you will get a FREE www.beretta.net decal as shown here. Register quickly - before they're all gone! NOTE: Late registration no longer allows you to pre-order t-shirts. Some extras will be available at the event, and can be bought on a first-come/first-served basis. Registration fees MUST be received by the May 31st deadline! In previous years registrations had to be mailed in. This year, we're pleased to announce that we have a brand new registration system that we're going to use. It's web-based and uses ASP with a database. Registration is as easy as filling out an online form. You'll see registration totals and profiles in realtime, and it will make administration much easier for the organizers. Registration will be $45 per car (includes driver) and $5 per passenger. Registration is required and will include:

Where will we stay?
| The hotel we have selected is a 3 Star Holiday Inn. It is located directly off a main Interstate, and is easily accessed from all directions. It features 236 rooms, parking for 300 cars, a full sized heated indoor pool, fitness center, hot tub, sauna, and 2 restaurants - all within the same building. The rooms are clean, well maintained, and have a choice of King, Queen, or 2 Full Size beds. This hotel also has a full time maintenance staff incase you should have any problem with your room. The normal rate for the time of year is $109/night, however we have secured a group discount rate of only $64/night (with a maximum of 4 people per room, and it's enforced!). Once you have registered, you will be provided with the hotel contact information to make your reservation. Rooms will be held for the group from Wednesday the 23rd through Monday the 28th incase anyone wants to arrive early or stay late. |
How much money can I plan on spending?
I get asked this every year, and every year it's a tough question to
answer. I've seen people get by with no more than a couple hundred dollars
for the entire weekend, and others need much more. A lot of it has to
do with how far you are coming from and what your personal spending habits
are. With that in mind, I can offer some suggestions and reminders for
your planning:

What is it like at a Bfest?
| Attending a BerettaFest is a very unique experience. If you are expecting BerettaFest to be like a Super Chevy type show only smaller and with all Berettas then you're in for a surprise. We actually DO spend a lot of time talking about cars and checking out each other's Berettas, but that's only half of the fun. BerettaFest also focuses on the people of the fest more than any other car gathering that I have witnessed. A lot of time will be spent just getting to know your fellow Beretta enthusiasts on a personal level. This is why there are scheduled 'cultural' events and things not having to do much with Berettas so that we can interact on a more personal level with each other. BerettaFest is about having fun in a new place with old and new friends that all share a common interest - our Berettas. |
My Beretta is a clunker. Can I still attend?
| Of course! In fact, it's encouraged. Most everyone's cars are daily drivers and are not in immaculate condition. |
I don't own a Beretta. Can I still attend?
| Do you have a legitimate reason to want to go? Sometimes former Beretta owners sell their cars, sometimes a member's Beretta is down for repairs, and sometimes non-owners spend a lot of time with Beretta owners and start to feel like part of the family. These are all good reasons to attend Bfest. Basically, if you have a sincere interest in attending then we would love to have you join us! |
