Hello Everyone,
Wanted to let you know that our upcoming show this summer will be on Saturday, June 7, 2014.
It's an unfortunate situation that the Classic has changed to a later date. I have no doubt that the team at Bugorama did what they could to keep the same date. However, my understanding is that given the circumstances of the change of venue, they took what date was available and most feasible. We will be there to support them and help make the Classic a successful event as always.
Regards,
OCTO _________________ www.octo.org |

As of now we are not sure if the Toy and Literature show is going to take place on Saturday afternoon. With the Classic moving to a different date, it has a large impact on how we go about dealing with the Hotel and renting the ball room.
The Toy and Literature show will NOT move to the new weekend of the VW Classic. It will either happen on it's original date, or not happen at all.
I will keep everyone updated over the next few weeks with what we plan to do. _________________ Andy Kimball

Just an idea here.....combine the OCTO plus the Toy / Literature shows together and place the T&L Vendors in the shade of the stadium just inside the chain link fence?

By leaving a day early, and driving like crazy we will be in Southern California in time for the Pomona Swap on Sunday. We'll start the drive back after the OCTO Show on Saturday. Who needs the Classic (my first "miss" in years)? It's OCTO Week here we come!

Jeez I get it that OCTO and the Classic are not happening the same weekend, but can someone tell me if the Toy and lit show is happening and when? You will still need a central hotel for both the OCTO show and Classic. See if the old Crown Plaza will be the host for both events, until we can figure out how to get everything on the same weekend. _________________ VW Collector1

Just wanted to let everyone know, we had to cancel the Toy and Collectibles Show on Saturday afternoon. We unfortunately ran into a scheduling conflict with the Hotel and were unable to acquire the large Ball Room for the event.
There's still so much to do during the week, this shouldn't come as a huge hit for those visiting. I will see everyone at OCTO on Saturday, then onto Prado for some camping and an AWESOME event Sunday!
thanks to everyone who is helping out with this So Cal VW week! |

A group of 8 of us are heading over from Australia (vintage bits - will have to keep an ear out for you!), for Sacramento Bugorma and Pomona, and of course couldn't miss OCTO and looking forward to the new El Prado show. We are relieved something took the place of the Classic as we had tickets booked already and couldn't reschedule - can't wait!
