A Weekend Event featuring : VW Show --- Swap Meet --- Campout --- Cruise --- Dinner Get-Together --- and--- Hosting the VW Club of America's Annual Convention!

Hudson, Michigan - Friday, June 6 -- Saturday, June 7 -- Sunday, June 8

Hey Volks Folks!

Announcing a weekend get-together for VWs of every type -- air- and water-cooled, vintage and new, stock and custom and everything in between! It's an event, a car show, swap meet, campout and social meet-up for VW enthusiasts in the Midwest region. Last year's inaugural event was so well-received, we're doing it again!

This is an event not sponsored by any one VW club but rather for any and all VW clubs, organizations, and individuals who'd like to promote and participate in this weekend festival celebrating everything and anything VW. While it is being pitched to VW enthusiasts in the Midwest, VW enthusiasts and their VWs are welcomed from everywhere, far and wide! In fact, this year the Volkswagen Club of America will be holding their annual Convention in conjunction with the Midwest VW Jamboree.

The Midwest VW Jamboree will feature a campout for VWs on Friday and Saturday nights. On Friday and Saturday there will be activities and cruises through the beautiful south Michigan countryside, including a lunch gathering and stops at area attractions, plus an evening dinner gathering. The Volkswagen Club of America will be conducting their Convention activities throughout the day on Saturday, as well. The big show and swap meet will be on Sunday.

The city of Hudson, Michigan in the extreme south central part of the state, just over the Ohio/Indiana border, has again graciously offered to host the Midwest VW Jamboree show at their beautiful and spacious Thompson Memorial Park, in walking distance from the city's downtown. VW Clubs wishing to participate are encouraged to bring and set up their club banners, signage and a small booth to represent at the show. The park has a large play area and baseball diamond for those needing a break from the VWs (hard to imagine, but you never know!). Also, dogs, cats, even giraffes are welcome as long as they are leashed and cleaned up after (Please note: giraffes must be wearing some article of VW-themed clothing in order to be admitted to the park).

All that's requested of you is to get the word about the Midwest VW Jamboree out to your members and promote the event within your club...and come on out for what promises to be another awesome VW get-together! Of course, a little bit of help collecting entry fees at the gate, directing cars into the show area and making sure the park is kept tidy during the weekend is going to be needed, so any and all volunteers will be welcome. After all, this is YOUR event!

Apart from camping in Thompson Memorial Park on Friday and Saturday nights, the city of Hudson has a small motel within a mile of the park. More extensive accommodations are available in nearby Adrian, MI. Stay tuned for more information about lodging and the Saturday activities and Sunday show.
