Vendors, if you have Vanagon and Vanagon Westy parts, please bring /em!
I'm particularly looking for a tan rear table and leg, plus other odds and ends. I'm also looking for aftermarket VDO gauges like a voltmeter with the 4 (fake) screw-style bezel.

Looking for a solid/straight bay bus sliding door, for a 75 Westy.
Please let me know if anyone can bring one there.

Thanks

The response to this event has been amazing! Sounds like it is going to be huge. If you have Facebook, check out our event page on there because people have started posting up what they want to buy or what they will have for sale.

There was a question raised about what kind of facilities we will have out there. Yes we will have porta-potties on site as well as our shower bus. We don't have any food vendors invited but perhaps some will show up, I really don't know. If you're camping, remember like at Bug-a-Paluza you can have a campfire as long as it's in a fire pit and off the ground. Cooking stoves are allowed as well. The RV lot has power but it's all 30A as far as I can remember, bring adapters.

We will be there selling some t-shirts and stickers. Sounds like it should be a good weekend...maybe a little rain but who cares, most of the stuff for sale will probably already be rusty.

That was awesome!!!

The rain on Saturday really put a damper on everything, but amazingly most vendors stuck it out. Once the rain cleared around 1 or 2, everyone uncovered and did some decent business. I don't think it was crazy busy because a few vendors posted up that they weren't gonna make it and it scared off some spectators. Everyone I talked to said they covered their expenses (gas and hotel) and then some.

This was a better swap meet than you see at most shows... and it rained like crazy on Saturday!!!

I think it was an unquestionable success despite the rain. Pictures are now available in our gallery: http://www.volksfolks.org/gallery/events/swap-a-paluza-2013/

Thanks to everyone who came out, and we will see you next year at Bug-a-Paluza.
