Knott's show 2020: Cancelled

Bad news, Knott's 2020 has been cancelled. Not sure how many were planning on go but January sure seemed to be a bad month for it.

That’s odd, it used to be an April show.

Yes, I was informed that the interest in the January date was very low, being the last time for the car show at Knott's. The show at Knott's was always great, and allowed us to partake of Mrs. Knott's chicken dinners, after viewing a wonderful collection of Ford, and Mercury, cars.

This is there message about the cancelation;
_______________________________________________________________
The 35th Annual FABULOUS FORDS FOREVER! Car Show has been CANCELLED!

Hello Fabulous Fords Fans and Fellow Ford Enthusiasts!

After 34 Fabulous years, the Ford Car Club Council has found it necessary to close the curtain on Fabulous Fords Forever! at Knott’s Berry Farm.

As a result, we are cancelling the January 12, 2020 show and we will be refunding all registration fees.  Refunds will begin going out as soon as possible.

However, please rest assured that there will be new activity in the future!

As you know, we lost our traditional April Knott’s date in 2019 due to the park’s growing attendance that made it impossible to accommodate our event.

Subsequently, we were able to secure January 12, 2020 for a last-time Fabulous Fords event at Knott’s. We knew this would be new “territory,” with January attendance a key factor. Registration response has been well below what would be necessary to make the event successful and we are cancelling in order to conserve our treasury and plan for the next chapter.

What’s next? Stay tuned! We are looking at a variety of new venues and formats, but most importantly: we are definitely looking to have an event in 2020.

We want to express our appreciation to Knott’s Berry Farm management and to ALL OF YOU for making “Fab Fords” a memorable part of Ford Motor Company history.

Onward to the future!

Sincerely,

The Ford Car Club Council

I hope they can find a suitable location for an April show for 2021.

I thought the Fabulous Fords Forever show traditionally at Knotts was moved to Angel Stadium last year.

Is that not the case?
