Title: Bellingham Bug Blitz 2013
Post by: blarneyman on October 27, 2012, 05:37:26 PM
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.

Just a reminder, If you are part of a group that will be sending more than six cars to Bellingham Bug Blitz, register as a club and save! One flat fee of $120 covers unlimited cars and their drivers – register before August 1 and save even more! In addition to reduced entry fees, pre-registered clubs will be offered dedicated group parking and extra space to set up displays/pop-up tents, etc.

Example: Ten cars registered individually: $200 ($20/ea.)
Ten cars, registered as a club: $120 ($12/ea.)

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

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?

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....

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 ;

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!
