Title: Cranbrook show and shine. And swap and heritage Cruz
Post by: Richard Kuczko on March 22, 2014, 02:14:34 PM

Tammy and I are going to organize a swap in cranbrook.  Seems to be a lot of old vws and parts floating around this area that need good homes.   So far we have a good location, food truck for the event, cruise to fernie and lots of interest.  We are looking for suggestions on what would bring more people out here and if there is out of town interest.  Also a date that would work.

Cranbrook a my home town and growing up I saw a lot of veedubs around there so I imagine if it were to be advertised all the way up to invermere , Nelson etc you would probably have a big turnout . I would love to go to this !!!

We're making a schedule up now. The basic is it will be on the august long weekend.  There will be a swap and breakfast on Saturday.  Camping over night at our lake at Jim smith lake and show and shine.  And cruise to fernie for dinner if people like.   If this first year shows interest we will keep building on it and do it annually

Sounds good. I'm all about events you can camp at. Why have a bus and sleep in a hotel?

Hello...new to the site and am happy to see a few from nearby Cranbrook here. We would definitely be interested in a swap and campout if we are around. We own a 77 VW bus which we have had for a year now. Have been enjoying cleaning it up and restoring it a bit. She's on the road this weekend and am looking forward to getting the winter dust off her.

Unfortunately that's the Street Machine weekend in Lethbridge so it'll be a tough sell for folks out this way.

Are there plans for a cruise somewhere too? Being in a long line of brightly coloured Vdubs snaking along a scenic road is one of my favourite things.

Title: Re: Cranbrook swap and camp out
Post by: Richard Kuczko on April 28, 2014, 06:49:47 PM

Yep it's in the plan after the show and shine.   It will be to Kimberly for  a chance for people to have lunch

Title: Re: Cranbrook swap and camp out
Post by: WESTY69 on April 29, 2014, 07:55:18 AM

Ohhhh wow. , a cruise to the Bavarian City or heck , even out to Fort Steele for some more epic scenery and vintage building pics ;)
Sounds like it's goin to be awesome !!

Title: Re: Cranbrook swap and camp out
Post by: Richard Kuczko on April 29, 2014, 09:15:19 AM

We can change the cruise and so a stop at fort steel for a park and then carry on to Kimberly   That sounds like a good cruise. 

So to up date the show and shine.  The vw dealership has stepped up along with the free entry to show shine and the great pancake breakfast they will be having prizes and trophys for there favourite type 1,2,3. Along with prizes

So I'm calling out as many people as I can to come to this event. Let's get them excited out here to keep thus going every year.

There's a couple more Late Bays ( 78,79) in Kimberley that I will be pushing the owners to bring to the show. Looking forward to seeing as many VW's there as possible.
