This is the show that was covered by Hot VWs last year! Bob Folks cover car and also Jamie Miller's show stealer were both there. This show just keeps getting better too. With John Warren at the helm, we will have a live band in 2012! How cool is that!

The great thing also about this show is the years of experience under everyone’s belt and all the leadership that the "newer" folks are lending.

I'm really looking forward to the full weekend of VW's, music, booze, food and the fun that's to be had in this quaint little town.

:P

This year will be our best!!! We already have a few Hot VW cover vehicles lined up and John W has done a great job in moving the usual show to the next level. Historic Weston has eveyrhing to keep your partner who's not into Dubs happy - winery, shops, etc. And did I mention the raffle engine? Get a 1776 expertly rebuild engine for only $10 - or increase your odds and get 11 tickets for $100.

Free camping for you Bus folks (like me).

See you there!!
