Bellingham Bug Blitz 2013

[blarneyman]

The admin of the MBVV in Bellingham is organizing an AC VW show in Bellingham. The show will be in September of next year. The club is still just getting thins started as far as setting up the event but I thought I'd send out the Facebook link to the show.

We are now 38 days out from this event and the need for volunteers is becoming acute!  Volunteers will receive free show car registration, a Bug Blitz T-Shirt, a lunch voucher for one of our on-site vendors, and my eternal gratitude. If you are interested please contact me at info@bhambugblitz.com

Accuweather has spoken:  we are 23 days out and the weather for Bug Blitz is predicted to be great!

[vwshawn]

Anyone planning to go?

[57rubindub]

I'm going for sure.

October issue of Hot VWs is available at newstands now - and features a big ol' Bug Blitz ad!

A few of us vw peeps will be at a friends wedding that day, sounds like it will be a good event.

I looked at their website and it seems that this show is primarily, perhaps only as suggested by the title, for the type beetle and Ghias. Will there be any other VWs, like type 3s?

This event is open to all VW types - car show, swap meet, etc.

There are 22 award classes, including one for Type IIIs.

Awesome show! Enjoyed the live band and met lots of new people. Border was really quiet both ways today.
Thought there would have been more BC vehicles....

[vwshawn]

I wanted to go, however, I could not get the day off

[bwaz]

Great first show! Nice work to get a decent turnout. didn't find the swapmeet until later as it wasn't close.  Suggestion for next time... family rate for entry. brought my wife and son, but couldn't justify $30 for then to enter. so, i didn't stay long enough, and would have bought food and a t-shirt but left feeling bad about them out in the car.  we both lost out... do $20 for the family next time and i'll spend the day ;

[Sidious]

My son loved the bouncy castle and the live band.  He also really enjoyed getting his picture taken with Herbie.  Thanks for a great show!

[silas]

i know randy was working really hard all summer (i saw him at 3 separate events advertising and promoting the bbb) and its good to hear that it went well. congrats to randy & all the organizers/sponsors/volunteers/attendees for making it a success!!
