November 7-9, 2024 - Savannah, Georgia

The SAVANNAH SOUTHERN CLASSIC
Antique Tackle Show

Savannah Southern Classic Cancelled

In consideration of those impacted by hurricanes Helene and Milton, the Savannah show hosts feel it is in the best interest of all involved to cancel this year's event. We regret having to make this decision, but with only a few weeks remaining and a looming contract with the host hotel, we had to act quickly and decisively.

Deposits already submitted will be repaid in full, as quickly as possible. And we ask that you please cancel your hotel reservations immediately. The hotel staff has obliged our request to cancel and will not hold anyone accountable for room deposits.

We regret any inconveniences this may cause, and we hope you will join us next year when the show is rescheduled. In the meantime, thank you for your support and understanding.

Regards,

Jim Burgland
