The Connecticut Volkswagen Associations 24th Annual Spring Dustoff Mansfield Hollow State Park 195 Bassett Bridge Road, Mansfield, CT from 9am to 3pm. Held rain or shine. This is an informal,
non-judged car show. Dash Plaques to the first 100 cars. Last year we had almost 250 cars, so arrive early. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the cars and your fellow VW comrades! No alcohol or burnouts!

we're hoping to bring A- Bomb and Herbie. it should look like before and after going down the road.

I did my part promoting it by word of mouth. I gave out cards when driving around in the 66 when people stopped to talk and I passed the word along to my second cousin who I found out is into VWs.

Along Rt66 eastbound on the way to the CVA Dust-Off. Bill's all-original '63 sunroof (with Porsche 356 wheels) directly in front of me; Diane (Moogie32) in her pacific blue '63 Ghia cabriolet (top entirely removed for refurbishing), Amelia driving her dad Greg's '64 Herbie, and Greg in front with his yukon yellow '69 Karmann Cabrio.

Very cool pic, I heard about the top for the Ghia getting worked on still. There were some real die hards there, top down or even the people showing up in dune buggies complete with blankets on their laps. I was cold just hanging around but add some wind chill...........

Had a great time at the Dust Off. The sun even came out long enough to cruise out with the top down on my '64 vert. We got to the local Margaritas restaurant just in time for me to put the top back up due to rain:( Had a great lunch with a couple friends from the show.

On the way home along I-84, I was loafing along behind a truck doing my usual 63 mph when Bill Collins blew by me doing at least 70 in his light blue '67 vert. I kept up with him for a short while and then saw them again at the Mass Pike toll booth. It was great to see Bill out at a VW event!

A few pix, more in my gallery.
