Standing Ovation for the VolksFolks.

« on: April 22, 2007, 09:03:36 PM »
I'd like to thank you guys for yet another great weekend... We had a fantastic  time as always. It was our daughter Lizzie's first event and though she slept through most if it (4 weeks old on tuesday) she really did enjoy getting pushed around all the pretty cars. (she told me herself - I swear)

Sorry I was MIA at awards time, the Mrs thought had time to pack the car up before it started... oh well- there's always next year :)

I also wanted to thank everyone who gave up their time and worked so hard to put this wonderful show on for the VW community.  I know it isnt easy to accomodate such a large show, but my hat is off to each and every one of you.  

We've been to BAP for 8 of the 9 shows, and it just gets better every year.  Thank you so much for everything you did!!

I also would like to thank everyone for the Fantastic Show this weekend. Driving down from Aurora, IL(near Chicago) 635 miles one way. I spent over $350 in gas and still found it worth it. I'm sure I'll be down next year and hope to convince a few more to come out and play also.
I was neighbors with Lamar and Cindy for the weekend as I opted for the quiet subdivision with full hook-ups.
I got to meet a few of you that I get to chat with here in the forums and enjoyed all of you(even The Godfather). I'll get to you in a minute.
As for the show, great turn-out, great weather, you couldn't have asked for better. Lots of vendors, I even found a couple good deals on some parts I needed for the Wife's Square Back. Everyone I met was really pleasant, except for the idiot that was in the Fifth Wheel who came down to my subdivision and threw gravel everywhere with his Dub. I hope your reading this buddy, you'll impress more people by driving more responsible around us other Dubbers. It's all about respect!
Anyways, David, glad to finally meet you. Even though you didn't wear the t-shirt I gave you from our last years show from Harsh Winters "Bug-a-Palooza 3". I'll understand if you use it to clean up oil spills in the driveway :lol: . Hey, I thought you were going to give me a Kudzu plant for up here in IL? That's OK, I understand if you forgot, I know that the age thing might let things slip your mind every now and then. :lol:
   Sunday night, still camping, now moved down to where Eddie was at with his tent inside the fence. Went to bed around 10pm. Woke up to a Semi truck parked outside the camper. NOTE: I'm NOT complaining. It's 1:45am and someone is outside working on the flat tire on the Shower Van. This is how things have to get done sometimes, things that others take for granted. Looking out the window, this tire is giving this guy one heck of a time. I get my sweats on and venture out to see if I could help him. By the time I got out there he had the tire reseated on the rim again. Who is this dedicated couple out here at now 2:15 in the morning still dragging equipment home?? This is where I formally meet Kyle and Betty, and thier two English Bulldogs. This is the type of dedication that makes these shows happen, and I'm sure this is only one part of the scene.
Well, anyways, I made it home as you see by my post. 13 hour drive. I'm tired. Thanks for everything.
Big Joe

Joe,  Glad you made it down. This turned into the biggest and best show  we have ever had.
       You "Pecker- wood ", you never introduced us to Eddie. What kind of deal was that ?
       As far as the Kuzu plant goes, I thought better of it. Im not sure what the high-way patrol would think about a "Rolling Garden center" followed  by a herd of Goats the time you got to the Ken. border. Feel thankful :lol:
      What did you do to win a Trophy ?  Could it have been for not starting the "The War of Northern Agression" over again ? :?
      I was looking at my T-shirt last night and the only thing I could think of was the movie " A Chritmas Story" where Darin McGavin buried his major award behind the garage. Hmmm !
      Anyway ,glad you made it home OK. It seemed to me that you had a great time and enjoyed youselve. We will try to do somthing about that next year :lol:  :lol: If you dare to show up that is.

        D.J.

Glad you made it down and had a good time Joe. I am fairly new to the volksfolks myself and this was my first show and I have to say..I have been in and to a few car shows and this was by far the best. The people and the atmosphere make this show fun for everyone! Thanks to everyone who helped make this weekend happen!  =D>

I should have brought Eddie over to meet you. I forgot that you could barely make it over to the grub station :shock:
Don't worry, I already know about the shirt, your wife told me that your using it as a sleeping shirt and that you are soooo proud of having it. You just can't let the rest of your crew know how you actually feel :wink: OOps, I guess I let t he Kudzu out of the bag!!
You know what was really funny is when Eddie won the Ronald McDonald Award, When he came back with it to where we were sitting, he said, "Sure, Give the Pinata to the mexican!" with a laughing voice. :lol:
That was kinda funny how that worked out 8)
Anyways, we had a great time.

Now thats a riot !!!   It could have been worse . It could have been a Nafta gift card. OOP!  I'm going to shut up now. Jezz !!
   By the way, What is a noble Mexican lad doing living in Chicago when he should be living in the Southern Mexican capitol of Dalton Ga. :lol:  :lol:     The Mickey-D folks should feel proud of that one. That is funny.

We finally made it home about 4 am.  Thank you so much for the loan on the adapter plug for my truck.  We will get it back to you.  This man not only didn't complain when we woke him up at 1 o'clock in the morning but he also let us (almost total strangers) borrow a piece of equipment so we could get home legally with the shower bus.   :angel8: Thanks again.

DITTO!  Thanks to everyone who came to the show.  We hope you enjoyed it and plan to be back next year.  I don't know how we are going to top this show but we are sure going to try.

Everyone here at SCVF are truly sorry that this "idiot" tried to ruin the show for everyone.  I hope no one was hurt by the flying gravel.  I would hope that this person will think twice next time and either not show up to a family show or behave himself.

Yeah they did a great job with the show. We all had a ball over the weekend. Thanks go out to Spook too who helped me get home after the boys left the headlights on. Spook loaned me some jumper cables and I was able to jump off the expedition tow vehicle with my 65 Bug ! Whooo hoooo!!! Who would have thunk that the Ford would have quit before the Beetle! Thanks Spook!
