Thanks to the club team for your efforts in another wonderful day. Here are some overall shots.
Hey crocteau- I got a shot of your Ghia cabrio. Well done! Too bad I did not realize it was your car. I'd have enjoyed meeting you and gabbing about your car's modifications.

Thanks Rome, that's me and the missus right there; are you sure we didn't chat?
You also got a nice shot of the missus's '79 triple white SB flaunting the new canvas top we installed parked next to Jeff's awesome award winning orange SB.
Great show, beautiful day, something for every air-cooled lover to appreciate, including that crazy BMW 3-wheeled coffin . Catch you next year! |

This past weekend was one of the biggest and best All Air-Cooled Gatherings we have had to date. For 15 years, a dedicated group of CJVWS members has made this happen by volunteering their time, money, and resources for the Volkswagen community to enjoy. A ton of hard hard work and an entire year of planning goes into making each show a success. One aspect of the show that draws a huge turnout is the camping on Friday and Saturday. A source of pride for the CJVWS is the confidence we all shared that we can trust our fellow hobbyists with our prized possessions, be them camping gear left unattended, cars parked, or parts in a trailer waiting to set out for sale on Sunday. As an added precaution for 2019 we even hired a security team to keep a eye out to add some additional peace of mind for our participants.
With all that someone still had to cause a major problem. On Saturday night someone stole the wheel trim rings right off Gene Langan‘s 21 window bus. Waking up to hear this news on Sunday morning was the worst news I could’ve ever received. Gene Langan has supported our show for years and brings some very special cars. He does this out of the goodness of his heart and for the hobby and for people to enjoy. He also makes a very generous donation to Operation Jersey Cares. And he’s also a friend of mine. Having this happen to anyone is unbearable but is made even worse when it's someone who does so much to support our event and asks nothing in return.
I sign the contract with the Swim And Sport Club every year so I am ultimately responsible for everything that happens there. To steal something like this in the middle of the night is a big slap in the face. Things have been stolen in the past and I have had enough. Our vintage Volkswagen community is better than this and I can’t believe this happened. It only takes one bad seed to ruin the bunch but that’s the case. What I’m asking is that the thief mails me back those rings. No questions asked. Until then I don’t plan on booking the camping portion of the show for 2020. I mean, where else can you stay for 10 bucks a night, get a free beer, and listen to a kick ass band. In the past we’ve had signs stolen, tail lights stolen, and numerous things taken off vendor's tables. This is not the VW hobby that I know. I was worried one day this event would grow too big and potentially turn out of control. Even with hiring security for the first time this still happened. I shouldn’t have to hire security at all. Now I know it’s the 1% that did this to our event. But that 1% is going to ruin it for all of us. I have no patience for thieves and I want Gene’s trim rings back! Among this small community in the tri-state area someone has to know what happened to those trim rings. I doubt the thief worked alone. The responsible party knows who they are and if you want to see a good camping show ruined for the entire community don’t mail them to me. As all my friends know I am a man of my word and I will cancel the camping. I simply can’t let this go. Please spread that word that I’m not gonna book and start planning for next year unless the trim rings are returned. I wanna squish it right now.

that's fucked up. like Gene or not, without his participation in events like this it would be cost prohibitive to keep these events rolling.
hopefully someone ships them back, and hopefully if they do not return them camping is indeed cancelled. it probably cost Gene 2k+ just in transport and other associated costs just to bring his display down...then this?
I looked in to taking over when Terryville/Litchfield was going to be gone forever because the show's promotor was stepping down after 25+ years putting the show on. it's reasons like this and the epic amount of behind the scenes that goes on that turned me off.
although I haven't been down there for a few years, it's a fantastic show at a cool venue. would really suck to see a show bite the dust because of one person, or one group of assholes
so many hours, weeks and months of planning go into events like this and the people doing it are not paid, and do it so YOU can vend and make $$, so YOU can walk away with a trophy and so YOU can have a nice weekend.
this sucks and I hope the pile of shit does the right thing. _________________
