Way to go Rob and all of the folks who started up the Foul Air show as an alternative to the crowded, constrained original E.S. show on the hot parking lot at the Best Western. If I could have been there (I'm always knee deep in getting our BNNTA event ready for the Labor Day weekend), I would have headed to the Foul Air show, definitely! Lots of room, looks much more laid back, no chance of being turned away due to lack of space, that nice grassy field, and plain old friendlier event! Congratulations on your successful event!

Thanks so much Bill! I totally understand as I am in recovery mode and usually miss BNNTA Life of a show host I guess
Yes the new venue got 5 stars all around! zero complaints.
I hope to see you next year and as always you have an outlet and a shower when ever you need it! Thanks so much again!
Just found this on youtube:

Who all here on the Samba is going to be in Eureka Springs this coming weekend? I'd love to meet you guys who I converse with regularly. Face to a name so to speak, life is all about networking.
So, who's rolling into Eureka for the 25th Annual show plus the Foul Air Plus the Ozark Euro Rally show? 3 shows, one weekend?! The MASSES!!! _________________ The Bus Barn Ltd. Co.

The 2017 Eureka Springs show was another year of great fun and the weather was perfect. If this wasn't enough two other VW shows also going on, so people that could have just enjoyed all three, why not? I got a few pics of the silver anniversary show.
Some good stuff at the swap.
How about a 1957 Porsche 356 engine or these NOS parts which hadn't seen
Daylight since 1975
I always buy a few things too. this year I got to meet a few more Samba VW people and as always had a great time. |

We had a fine time, Jim, and thanks for showing us the ropes as well as enjoying dinner with you and Mrs Z.
And as a bonus--------I got to meet sb001, so now my bucket list is complete. |

It's great to actually meet the people you've talked to on Samba. We are not as bad in person as we seem here. I shoulda got a pic of you and Steve together. He made out better than anyone in selling his 72 bug and he got a fair price too. Lets all just hang around and get together next year ok? |

Great pics! 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, and fling a car door open and set up a shade tent!
I talked to several of the business owners including the liquor stores and they had a great weekend and they can't thank us enough.

Thanks to everyone who made it out! Mark your calendar to be here next year. Always the last weekend in August. _________________ Rob

A great time had at all shows this past weekend for the 25th Annual (Silver Anniversary) VW Show, with just as much of a smash at the Foul Air OverFlow Show, and the Ozark Euro Rally.
A glimpse of the weekend, with more to follow:
I wasn’t able to capture shots from the Euro Rally, so those who have them, please share! _________________ The Bus Barn Ltd. Co.
