Hi folks...
The Harrisburg Area Volkswagen Club is sniffing around the idea of having a Thing Thang in Hershey in 2007. August has been the month of choice...but may change.

It would be a similar event as our 2004 Type 3 Invasion and our 2005 A1 Invasion.

What do you think?

I wonder if my dad would let me borrow his Thing for the show. Shocked My wife and I really enjoyed the 2004 T-3 Invasion. Cool Otherwise, I'd have to take the Notch again. Wink

I should have piped up sooner. I'd love to go, but would not be able to commit at this time. But I would give it some serious consideration.

Better let Brian know, they're planning 08 as we speak. Very Happy Currently they're looking at the mid west though, and they've got feelers out for 3 different spots. I'd love to go to Hershey again, it was beautiful, laid back and we had a great time (and we never did make the factory tour). Cool

I've been talking to Brian...yea, I was just kinda kidding about T3's in 2007.
2007 will be an air cooled specialty show....if it is not Things...we'll do something else.
2008 will go back to a water cooled specialty.

This post was to feel out the Thing crowd. Hershey is a great vacation spot...there is a lot to do.

I understand the NC Treffen is no longer...we're here to give Thing folks a special weekend...

It's cool, hope we didn't mess up your schedual too much (having an air cooled event in an even year). I wouldn't mind attending a Thing show (if my dad will let me borrow his Thing), besides, it needs some more miles put on it since my son and I rebuilt it for him. Cool He might have thrown some dollars at it, but I know I put some blood and sweat (along with some long nights) into it. We literally rebuilt it in 4 1/2 months, floors, wiring, rusty sheet metal, brakes, engine, top and top frame, fuel system, paint (inside and out), etc. Shocked Heck, I wouldn't mind taking the Notch out on another all day run to Hershey for HAVOC general air cooled show. Wink If it's going to be the 1st weekend in August, I should be able to attend (doing a road trip out west to get another project in June (don't know when yet). Plus my Uncle wants me to go to Stamford, and pick up his old Rabbit (for my son), so that would make a nice side trip. Very Happy

Well...stay tuned for the development of this event. Dates and theme will be finalized in Feb.

It will be listed on the events schedule.

Volksfest, our annual VW show, will be held in 2007 on the last Saturday of April. Could be the last one at the Campbelltown venue.

If anyone has any questions...feel free to contact me!

Ron

Sorry, I meant that Brian and co. were working on a mid west location for a t-3 Invasion (MI, WI, IA), not a Thing show. Although, I think you're also a member over there?

It was voted at the last HAVOC meeting that this event will not happen.

Initial response was low...and we don't want to comepte with KTE.

thanks
Ron
