Hello everybody, last year I went to the Mount Hope winery near Mannheim, PA for the "Volksfest" VW meeting. It was a very nice turnout and lots of interesting and beautiful cars and busses.

After checking with the Mount Hope website (They do the renaissance fair there in the fall too) I can't find a 2012 date for it. Can it be that it is happening in a different location this year?

Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

It was reported elsewhere that April 28 is the date. However I have not seen a post from the guy who is from HAVOC that posters official information last year.

Check out the forums, there are a few other shows scheduled in April. I know they are listed in the OCOD thread.

Do the folks at Mt. Hope Winery have any plans to improve the bathroom situation for the show? Last year people were wishing there were some porta-potties closer to the show field.

Everyone is going. Bring beer & drop it off at the coolest '62 beetle there.
