The Moose Lodge show was really nice last year. Definitely going to try to make that one again.

Litchfield and Terryville aren't on that list either

Im sure Litchfield and Harwington will be happening, they are put on by Chuck P.

Wow, *tremendous* work guys--that's one heck of an impressive lineup of cool events--I can't wait for 2013!

Like thewalrus said, I also thought Marlborough was a really fun time.

And VolksMeet in Westbrook too--wow!

I had a really tremendous time at the first-ever CVA/Montesi "Das Auto" event, ref: http://home.comcast.net/~commonsteve/CVAMontesi2012/ShowReport.html - so great to know that one'll be back for 2013 also.

And the list goes on and on... I can't say enough about how impressed I am withe work the CVA does to create and produce FUN things to do for VW owners in this area.

Thanks again Chris, Bill, and all!
