Folks, we live in Knoxville and love to attend both Bugapalooza and Circle Yer Wagens.  One of our club members (Knox Volks Motor Club) has discovered that Bugapalooza and Circle Yer Wagens are on the same weekend this spring.  Yikes!  This is going to hurt both shows and force loyal fans to choose between the two.  I urge the members of Scenic City and the members of Appalachian Volkswagen to get together and resolve this date conflict.

If one of the clubs can change the date of their show, that would be wonderful.  Just, please don't pick the weekend of May 21.  That's the weekend of Summerjam 2011, in Knoxville.

Dang.  You're right about Southern Worthersee.  Looks like May is going to be a busy month.  At least the weekend of 5/7 is open, so we can all watch the Kentucky Derby.

For what it's worth, I think you can expect a strong turnout from Knoxville, at Bugapaluza.

That's what I thought too!

i am excited about bugapuluza this year, the thing is licensed and insured this year.  gonna be a great show

     Please have someone call me @ 240-1224, and I will explain everything to them. I have no record of a phone call from Cleveland. I have tried to sign on your forum to answer your questions, but it says there is a problem with the server.

For what it's worth, it is a shame that this conflict exists. I don't think, however, that Bugapaluza will suffer much in attendance. Our members are planning to show up at Buga in numbers as usual.

Now, as far as competing with Worthesee, that was an evil that we couldn't avoid. We had unanimous complaints about the heat last year, so we had to pick a weekend in a cooler month. Unfortunately, weekends without VW shows just don't exist. We chose to do our show the same weekend as Worthesee because it is primarily a watercooled event and, even though we want to get more watercooled participation in the future, our show has primarily attracted aircooled cars.

We would love to see as many of you at SummerJam as can come and rest assured, KVMC will be at Bugapaluza.

We've gone back to our original dates, Bug-a-Paluza 13 will be held April 15-17, 2011. No more conflict with Circle Yer Wagens!

Well, to say my wife is pissed is putting it midly. She spoke to whoever runs bugapalooza in december and bought my flight tickets from TX for the original date. My first VW show and I'm already not doing well. I'd be better off canceling the whole damn thing.
