Formerly the Overflow show.

Problem was the overflow overflowed! Laughing Had just under 200 our first year and just shy of 300 last year! Lot to see & do.

So we moved it to The great Passion Play grounds. Acres of grassy parking. Show was a huge success with our event picking up the tab for a trolley just for us German car owners to take us to the various events around town.

As usual with this event now in its 3rd year, your registration money goes into the event. For starters each registered person will get a quality event tee shirt & beer glass. There will be more to come based on registration. So stay tuned here or our web site.

Please mark your calendar for the last weekend in August to visit amazing Eureka Springs Arkansas!

The motels, hotels, Bed & breakfast places are an average 80% full capacity! This is going to be great!

With that said I feel the need to address why the 3 shows this year, and try to clear up some of the confusion.

This is not an easy subject to address and we don't want drama. We can just say that reaching out the last 3 years has been unsuccessful. This year it came down to my copyrighted event "Overflow Show" Being hijacked by a few Foul Air car club heads who made a 3rd event. The worse part is they lay claim to being the only other event and don't even recognize we even exists. This has been very hard to clear up. I feel as time goes on only good things can happen. A good example of having no club affiliation has brought in more sponsors then we could ever imagine including 3 different VW's dealers representing 3 different regions. Just to name a few.

Like I said it's all good for the town and the Volkswagen community that we have 3 events now. We just ask those that know to help get the word out and we still come in peace with the olive branch extended if they ever decide to all work together. In the end this is more important then drama or legal action.

Thanks again to everyone set up to come out to Eureka Springs Arkansas no matter where you go specifically, and especially to this years sponsors!

I have been attending the VW show for three years, so I am a newcomer when the terms Volkswagen and Eureka Springs share the same sentence. It has always been my understanding that spacing has been the route issue here and not bad blood.
We all flock to Eureka Springs for one thing, the love of Volkswagens. I'm excited to have 3 different shows, with various vendors and locations, it helps build the weekend To-Do list, which is awesome.
I avoid discussing the drama because it's about the hobby, the things to learn, and the goodies to find at the swaps without paying shipping from big pocketed Californians..
I'll be posted up bright and early at the Inn, and I have ever intention to check out the shows at the Passion and the third location across from the Harley shop.
I'll be all smiles, I usually am, and hope the weather and vibes throughout the entire town is cool and breezy.

Another success! it's so cool this cool little town now has 3 shows to choose from! Something for everybody jam packed in one weekend!
More room to sell, walk around, fling a car door open and set up a shade tent at all 3.

I had a chance to talk to several of the business owners including the liquor stores and they had a great weekend and they can't thank us enough.
