Thank you from the Rose City Volksters!
The Rose City Volksters would like to extend our deep appreciation to those that made the 24th Annual Northwest Bug Run a great success.
Thank you to this years show sponsors: HM Motorsports, House of Ghia, T-Line, and Canby Import Auto
One of our goals this year was to make the show area more “club oriented” by establishing club corrals. We believe that involvement in your local VW club is a great way to support and grow the VW community. The Volksters would like to thank the following clubs for filling the club corrals: Absolutely VW Club , The DDB, and Southern Oregon VW Club. In addition we’d like to recognize the Good Times VW and Mid-Columbia VW Clubs for their attendance and support of the show.
Great weather and overwhelming turnout made the 24th Annual Northwest Bug Run a record setting event. The official numbers will be out soon, so check back to see the results.
