Hey, VolkFolks!

It's almost time for everyone to be together again at "BUS BOO!" Buses By

the Beach annual fall campout and Halloween *before* Halloween party in Grand

Rapids, MI Sept. 12th, 13th & 14th. It looks like we are in for another

great turn out of Bus Pilots and VW lovers from all over the country. So,

bring your musical instruments for some campfire jamin'. Remember, it's not

about sounding good, just feeling good!

If you have not made reservations please call the campground so we can plan

for camping space. Call Grand Rogue at 1-616-361-1053 located at 6400 West

River Drive, Belmont, MI 49306. Make sure you tell them that you are with

Buses By the Beach group so they can group us all together.
