> Hi all,

> Well, it's that time of year again!  This coming weekend, Sept 4-7th,
> "Busses By the Arch #14" will be held rain or shine at Cherokee Lakes
> and Campground in O'Fallon, Missouri (a western suburb of St. Louis
> and about 35 miles from the Gateway Arch).  The requests for event
> flyers and directions have kept me very busy while getting ready,
> so I expect that we'll probably see about 120-150  Busses and other
> types of VW's in attendance throughout the Labor Day weekend.  At
> this NEATO & LiMBO family VW camping event you'll see Transporters
> of all types and era's from all over the U.S.A.  Fellow Bus owner
> Herry Z. DeKuyper, Editor of "VW Trends" magazine, will be here to
> cover the event and hunt down some Midwest "feature" Busses.
>
> It's almost too late to send a last minute flyer by pmail, so what
follows
> are general directions to the BBTA #14 event site:
>
> Cherokee Lakes and Campground is located on Highway 79 about
> 7.5 miles northwest of Interstate 70, and is in the City of O'Fallon,
> Missouri.  As you head northwest on Hwy 79 the campground will be
> on the right side (watch for event signs) and is tucked behind a gas
> station / conveinence store.  Do not go to down to the "Arch" looking
> for a field full of Busses!  We'll all be 35 miles away enjoying
ourselves.

> Reservations CANNOT be made in advance, electrical outlets are
> limited and all sites are "first come - first served".  Remember, to
> park inside the event camping area you MUST be a event participant
> and you MUST be in a VW.  Parking for visitors (and other makes
> of cars) will be nearby at the campground office parking lot.  There
> is an BBTA event fee of $10 for the whole weekend, and in addition,
> the campground charges $10 per night per vehicle for camping (there
> is a discount if you are bringing more than one of YOUR OWN Busses).

> We're looking forward to seeing all of the regular BBTA crowd along
> with many new faces this coming holiday weekend.  In addition to all
> the site to site visiting, there will be an informal Bus show, many cool
> (and a few wierd) door prizes, a huge VW caravan / picnic on
> Saturday, and on Sat. evening immediately after the awards
> presentation, two D.B.G. Club members will hold a wedding (all
> participants are invited) in their D.B.G. tavern / chapel.  I'm told they

> may be bringing a band to play in their "tavern".  I gotta see all
this!!!

> Anyway, I'll get back to my preparations, so please drive carefully,
> caravan if you can and we'll look forward to seeing you around the
> campfire this weekend!
