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.
