Hi Volks,
This past weekend was quite possibly the best VW event launch I have =20
ever attended. Jerry Baldwin started planning this event back before =20=
BusFusion, and found a great location, matched up the date with some =20
excellent local festivities and put the word out. The result was =20
excellence; through and through.
I'll second all of that. What a great event ! The steak & corn diner
coutesoy of Frank, Jerry & Sophie. Great door prizes. Max Burns of Cycle Canada
fame was there as he and wife Janet has joined the ranks of VW bus
ownership. The pub c-r-a-w-l event, even though the bandshell where the Wilkenson's
were playing was full of teeny boppers and the water taxi admiral guy left us
stranded downtown, we did manage to find a "ReaL' taxi back to the
campground. Saw "Old Man Luedecke" with his mountain banjo and "The Unionist
Ministers" What a good time we had !!! Can't wait till next year. "James McKenty
and the Spades" doing 49 Diesel Locomotives - awesome.....And our own Doug
Alcock got up on the stage tooooooo. They even made an announcement from the
main stage about a group of VW nuts making the Festival as a group - yehaa !
AND yes, Gerry Lepage from Sudbury, you are the man, the job you did with the
stretch Vanagon is awesome. What great work, two pop-tops, welding and finish
perfect. Beautiful and space for a real party ! I have many pics up on
Facebook if you want to have a look.
