Farmer File: Can we tap into Tampa's GOP convention bonanza?
The Tampa Bay area is preparing for a huge payday from the Republican National Convention there in late August and we need to get a piece of that action.
By "we" I mean the hospitality industry in Southwest Florida.
By action I mean 50,000 people will be at the GOP blowout, partying and politicking just a two-hour drive from here.
Maybe some of them would love to come here to chill out, deflate, detox, whatever, on our beautiful beaches. An opportunity that size could liven up what usually is among our slowest periods, economically speaking.
So I took my idea to some of the hospitality experts around here and I got an education.
"We're working on some ways to pique those visitors' interest in coming to the Paradise Coast for a little rest and relaxation," says Jack Wert, who leads the Naples, Marco Island & the Everglades Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Mac Chaudhry, general manager of the Hilton beachfront resort on Marco Island, had been thinking about this prospect too, but he sees potential roadblocks..
"The conventioneers will be within a 30-minute drive to beaches at Clearwater and St. Petersburg. That's the big problem.
"I think Orlando definitely will benefit from the GOP convention with all those hotel rooms just an hour away. We're just a bit too far."
Robert Pfeffer, director of marketing for the Marriott Resort on Marco, was formulating a way to get some attention to our tourism-rich area from convention-goers staying at Marriott hotels in the Tampa Bay area.
"The challenge is that we already are selling out (the Marco resort) the three nights following the convention," he said.
That's part of Labor Day weekend and it's a nice challenge to have.
Michael Reagen, president and CEO of the Naples Chamber of Commerce, supports any efforts to tap into Tampa's GOP gold rush. He suggests an after-action sort of approach.
"Maybe the State of Florida tourism promoters could have a campaign thanking all those thousands of convention-goers and urging them to come back and see the rest of this beautiful state.
"After all, those people at the convention may have reasons to make future trips to Florida and we could work on that."
Direct spending for the convention will be up to $200 million, plus the multiplier effect, which Tampa officials say equals more than twice the actual amount of dollars spent.
Big bucks, but seemingly just out of our range.

Camp Smith's co-captain and forward, Jay Stuckey, lays the ball up against a defender for the basket during and Intramural Basketball League game against Patrol Squadron 47 at the Semper Fit Center Feb. 4. 'We are only going to get better as we come together as a team,' Stuckey said, after their game against VP-47. 'Once you know where each other is going to be on the floor, the game begins [to be] so easy.'::r::::n:: (Photo by Lance Cpl. Alesha R. Guard)
With five games under their belt, Camp Smith players said they are working hard toward continually improving their offensive and defensive game, using the regular season to prepare for the end-of-season championship tournament.
Camp Smith currently holds a 3-2 record and is determined to keep a winning streak the rest of the season.
"The goals this season are to put the players here at Camp Smith on the map and to bring the [championship] trophy to Camp Smith where it belongs," said Camp Smith's forward Arthur Rainey.
Rainey said the team has improved in many areas of the game since last season. He said his team has more heart this year and is willing to put the time into playing as a team and not as individuals.
"Our strength is our playing ability," said Lavonne Watkins, guard for Camp Smith. "We have talent but we need to put the right people in the right place to better suit the team."
The players agree finding chemistry among their talent will be key to their success.
"We have several new players that are learning our offensive and defensive scheme," said Jay Stuckey, forward and co-captain for Camp Smith. "We are only going to get better as we come together as a team. Once you know where each other is going to be on the floor, the game begins [to be] so easy."
Stuckey said because all of his teammates are very talented and can play numerous positions on the team, they have a big advantage over their competition this season.
"From what I've seen so far, I think Camp Smith has more depth than any other team in the league," said Bryan Baker, forward for Camp Smith. "That is key - when players can come off the bench and contribute."
When asked who the key players were on their team, Watkins had a hard time choosing just one or two particular players.
"Offensively we have a couple [standouts]: Johnson, Baker, Rainey, and Ashley," Watkins said. "They are our main scorers. "Defensively, I get a lot of rebounds, but we all do great on defense."
His teammates agreed it's difficult to choose only a few key players on their team when you have such a talented team.
"We don't have one superstar, we have 12 great and solid play-maker players," Stuckey said. "Each game there is someone different leading the games in points, rebounds, blocks, assists and steals."
Marcus Miller, guard for Camp Smith, said competing and practicing with such a talented group helps the players push each other to continually improve not only as a team but also individually.
"I enjoy playing with this team because you get to work off each other's capabilities and learn something new every time you compete," Miller said.
The team is not only working toward team chemistry on offense but also on defense to ensure their spot in the championship bracket.
"To take the championship, we know we have to play harder defense, harder offense, and we got to put our heart into it," Miller said.
After losing two games and winning three, Baker agreed his team is going to have to continue to work this season to claim the title.
"When players experience winning and losing together during the season I think camaraderie and heart come
into play," Baker said. His team's strong drive, willingness to compete every night and outstanding direction from their very knowledgeable couch, Roberts, is what gives them an advantage over the competition, Baker said.
"Basketball is a team sport and in order to win you have to play together," said Rainey.
With a little more than a month left before the championship tournament, Camp Smith players said they have their eye on the Championship title, and they plan on taking it together.
"Camp Smith not playing in the championship game is like nailing Jell-O to a tree: 'its not happening'," Baker said.

Plan B Burger Bar/Milford? - Ct.
- k
- kwhitehead Mar 2, 2011 10:06 AM
I've heard rumblings that Plan B is opening a spot in Milford. I can't find anything definitive though. Anyone been to their other locations? I think there are 3. If so, how was it?
Not sure where or when this is supposed to happen. Can't imagine the location since I am guessing they are looking for a rather large space.
Maybe they'll take over the soon to be abandoned Border's space in the mall?
I hope not. I'd love to see this downtown.
I've been to the glastonbury location, nice bar area, burgers are just okay, fries, bleah...lotsa other menu options I haven't tried to be fair. Can't stand the ridiculous wait for a table. Found a better burger up the street at the diamond pub and grill, never the 45+minute wait for a table as planb frequently has. They'll have some big burger shoes to fill in the milford area, as I have tasty memories of paul's and the greeks
I was at the one in West Hartford. The burgers are good. The beer and bourbon selection is even better.
Much as I want to like Plan B, and want to support businesses in Glastonbury so I'm glad hear they seem to be doing well. But, I have to say the burger is so-so at best. I just don't like the loose pack of 'natural' beef. It is not particularly flavorful. I suspect the fat content is just too low. Plus, and this isn't really a negative, the burgers are ample -- I just can't eat the whole thing anymore. I wish they would offer a 5 or 6 oz alternate. I like their fries and house salad. The best burger in the area: Apricots in Farmington.

re: GatorMan
Thanks Gator man and all the rest of you. I think I'll give it a whirl but I can't really think where it will be either.
Whatever, we'll see soon enough.
I live close to the first one in West Hartford and I really like it. That location is rather tiny and you're often waiting for a table. I'm one of those people who turns into a Grumpus when I'm hungry thus I don't normally have much patience for waiting for a table (and in that location there's really no where to wait) Things I've liked there include the lobster roll sliders, the burger sliders, the fact that they have tater tots and their fondue. I'm not a huge beef burger eater but I appreciate that their menu isn't just burgers. The beer list is rather large too.
re: masha bousha
The main reason I go to plan B is for the beer list! One of the best in the area and constantly changing. There is always a great selection. I wish some other local establishments would follow suit. I might enjoy Max restaurants more often if they would up their game in the beer department. Their beer offerings are completely inadequate. one great beer with a decent burger is nirvana.
re: askeenan
Diamond has always had a good meal...surprised at the amount of convenience foods Plan B uses...to sell "Tater Tots" ...at a price one would pay for a hand made product os a little surprising...I like the creative decor but the hanging meat lamps are a an example of too much of a good thing...and the back room walled in flocked silver is a very harsh atmosphere...the dumbing down of the American Eater continues.

Easy to use, looks nice and sleek and durable. Don't know if its fully water proof but its protective to normal moist situations and surroundings.
