**Update**

All proceeds from VWs in the Gorge will be donated to The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas, NV.
Their mission is to save the lives of all healthy and treatable animals in the Las Vegas valley. It's also where I adopted both of my dogs!

Hope to see you in October!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table at Blackstar and picked up a flyer.

The question I got the most was what the weather will be like. The average high temp for October is 67 degrees, with the average low is 40, so pack your buddy heater and bring some firewood! Wink

We have two one-year subscriptions to Volkswagen Camper & Commercial Magazine that we will be giving away.
Every VW that attends will get a free raffle ticket, additional tickets will be sold for $1 each.
All proceeds from the raffle will also go to The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas.

See you in a month!

Quick update:
Every VW attending will get a window sticker, show magnet, one free raffle ticket for the magazine subscription giveaway, and a goodie bag with some fun stuff inside!

The weather looks pretty good at this point (just under 3 weeks out), with the high temp around 75, and the lows around 45.

See you soon!

VWs in the Gorge is in the books! In all, we had 15 VWs and two support vehicles in attendance.
Camping, hiking, mountain biking, and some folks even found a nearby hot spring! The nights were chilly, but the starry sky was amazing!

A huge thank you to everyone who made it out to Cathedral Gorge. It means a lot that you all would trust me to organize an event worth traveling to.
There may not have been many of us, but I believe everyone had a good time, and we managed to raise some money for a worthy cause.

Here’s the breakdown:

Animal Foundation donation: $130

Split Buses : 2
Bay Buses : 6
Vanagons : 4
T5 Van : 1
Bugs : 1
Notchbacks : 1

States Represented:
Nevada : 13
California : 1
Utah : 1
