Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
This is my last post about this -- really. (Could someone forward it to
the VintagVW list?)
----------------
June 3 (Saturday): The Sixth Annual June Bug Jamboree in Springfield,
MO. Sponsored by the General Registry of Ozarks Volkswagen Enthusiasts
(GROOVE). Over 30 show classes, swap meet, car corral, food & fun for
the whole family. New location at Chesterfield Village in SW Springfield!

Chesterfield Village is located just NW of the intersection of James River
Freeway (south edge of Springfield) and Kansas Expressway (take Hwy. 65,
south from I-44 -- or north from Branson, MO -- to James River Freeway
(cloverleaf interchange), then west on James River to Kansas Expwy.,
north to Chesterfield Village which will pop up quickly on the left (looks
like old brick buildings).
Or, if coming in Hwy. 13 from areas north, just stay on it as it turns
into Kansas Expressway (as it crosses I-44) and follow it south all the
way across town to just before the James River Freeway and you'll see
Chesterfield Village on the right.
The KOA is easy to find if you plan to camp. Take I-44 west past
Springfield to Exit 72 and follow the signs (south of the Interstate as
you bisect the golf course).
If you need to call me I'll be at the number above Friday evening (unless
I'm out doing last minute show running or at the KOA). I'll be
e-mail-less as my home PC died last Sunday and I need to do a complete
reload (and haven't found the time). I will be back into work briefly
this evening, so I can do an e-mail check then, but don't expect a quick
response. You can try Shane Hood <nixaguy@hotmail.com> or Lance Moeller
<LNWN4VWS@aol.com>, but I can't guarantee timely resposes there either.
The Kampground number is 1-800-562-1228 if you want to ask them about
fees, reservations, etc.
There is no additional charge by SAMBA for Busses on '66'.
Drive carefully and we'll see you at the show!
