Larz Anderson Auto Museum

Looking at pictures of the past events, this should be fun! And it would be great to put some faces to the names.
Below is a copy and paste from the Event Listing in the Community section of our site:
Join us for a fun filled day on the lawn of the Larz Anderson Auto museum with all types of VWs welcome. Show registration opens at 9am, show ends around 3pm. Dash plaques and custom award plaques for people's choice winners. $20 for show vehicles, includes admission for all passengers. $25 for swap meet (VW parts or toys only). No T-shirt sales, we will have show shirts available for purchase at the registration table. Registration is day of show only, CASH only.
Pre-show camping will be in Salem, MA at Winter Island park. Please contact Stan via text if you are planning to camp. 508*331.7813. We have two large group areas reserved and camping begins Thur. Oct 5th. A large caravan will cruise to the show on Sunday morning from Salem.
Monday Oct. 9th (Columbus Day) is our rain-date this year.
See www.larzanderson.org for directions and more museum information.

I might go on Sunday but will skip the camping the day before (if it's happening) since I need to be elsewhere.

Note that there will be a road race in the morning blocking the main roads around Jamaica Pond near the museum. You need to find a route that comes in from the west. Riverway/Jamaicaway/Arborway will be closed until about 10:30 am according to the baa.org site. I got caught on the wrong side of the road closures last year.
Hope the rain holds off this year.

| VFW from the south should be okay as long as you don't make it to the Emerald Necklace parkways. The 1/2 marathon runs from the zoo to Park Drive (love the name of that street) near Fenway, and you can't use or cross the parkways, except if there's a bridge, like both Washington St crossings (Rt 9 and by the zoo). |

| Did anyone get some photos from transporter feast? Considering the weather it looked like a pretty good turn out. I was there for a short time in the morning between jobs. The rain drove a lot of people into the vans. I recognized a lot of the vanagons from here. it was a good show like always. |
