Here is the show listing right here on theSamba.

It's a little later this year due to a conflict with their Bonham's auction.

We had a record turn out of 129 vehicles on the show field last year. This year I'll use the overflow field to prevent so much crowding in the afternoon, as needed. Pix from 2007 show:

Contact me via pm if you want to camp locally the night before the show.

Camping is lined up at the luxurious home of John J. in Northboro. Please contact me if you'd like to camp on Sat. Oct. 11, the night before the Transporterfest/VW day show in Brookline, Ma.

Eric L. will be cooking ribs again. $25/full, $13/half rack. Order in advance.

John has promised to make breakfast. Directions to the show will be available and likely a good morning caravan will roll into Brookline.

New T-shirts are coming plus full color award plaques and plenty of nice dash plaques. Voting in 9 classes will be people's choice and also a longest distance traveled award.

2006 dash plaque was spotted in a '61 Mango bus at the recent RI VW show.

That picture is from 2006. It was the best one I had that captured the essence of the show with buses and bugs in front of the museum. Class judging will be by people's choice this year.

I'm a winner without the need to drive 6 hours!
Seriously, not sure if I'm taking the deluxe or the swivelseat.

Send Stan a picture of your swivelseat ahead of time so you can pick up your 2009 class winner award when you get there this year.
