I saw this thread was locked, and pulled some strings to have it unlocked (well, not really...turns out it was locked by accident)
anyway...who's in? looks like it will be a good time. I went years ago and it was a pretty nice venue as I recall _________________

hey Tom...
a quick google search got these hits
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=campgrounds+near+cumberland+ri&spf=1498781807695
Normandy farms may be a bit of $$$....
I am about an hour south of the show. depending on the interest, I could have 15-20 people camp here (I have room for a lot more, but I don't want to go too crazy) I am not sure if it would make sense for you to drive here and back track an hour
(the route in yellow is about equidistant and may be a bit more of a relaxed ride and miss 95 all together)
seeing the show starts "late" by our normal standards we could hit up a local "greasy spoon" breakfast place. they have killer food
https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g338...ticut.html
super small place with that 30's 40's vibe. if it works out, I can call the owner and make sure they could handle us. very little parking as it's in the heart of Noank
that said...IF there is enough interest and IF I know who you are people are welcome here. absolutely NO DOGS I don't need to listen to your dog, my dog or my wife bark all night. in terms of a convoy to the show, bring a GPS...I am not going to do 8 mph trying to keep a train of vw's in 1 line.
if it looks like it's going to work out we can chill here around a fire pit or whatever...party at one of the casinos etc etc...could be a decent time _________________

Hey Don, not sure where I'm at yet w/that show, my Son is now a N.Stonington Ct. resident , so it could be a 2-fer weekend, weather & job are the factors that will help me decide if I roll south... _________________ Tom

let me know. you can drop anchor here if you'd like.
again, it's all weather depending but we could firm up a plan a week or so before the show.
hoping for a good turn out at the show. it would be nice to have something that wasn't 300 miles away.... _________________

I'm a first-timer to this show. Have been going to the Litchfield, and the Terryville shows for the past 14 years faithfully (R.I.P.) And I need to see all the old VWs gathered together in the Summertime like a fish needs water! Looking forward to attending! |

all in all a good show. good vendor turn out as well, and scored some stuff I was looking for.
either I missed it, or somehow just didn't notice, but the award deal was kind of screwy....I overheard a bunch of folks not realizing they were called.
other than that, it was a great day _________________

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the show, it was an excellent turnout with 100+ show vehicles. We couldn't do it without the great Volkswagen community, so thanks again. Since we had such a great first turnout, we are going to make this an annual event. See you next August! |
