History of the Volks Folks

The Scenic City Volks Folks began meeting around early 1998 at Volkswagen of Chattanooga. By the third meeting officers were elected. Later that year we had our first show, the Scenic City Volks Folks Show 'n' Shine. The show was later named Bug-a-Palüza and it was held at Camp Jordan in East Ridge TN, as it has ever since.
