BUSES BY THE BRIDGE January 16-19, 2014
This awesome show is put on by our west coast of Arizona friends the London Bridge Bulli's on beautiful LAKE HAVAFEW in Lake Havasu State Park Windsor 4 area right next to the actual London bridge...didn't it fall down?
Anyway...join a few hundred VW friends for a great time and enjoy the balloon festival too. Thursday afternoon dice run, Friday balloon festival and chili cook off, Saturday hot air balloon rides and VW show, Sunday Boy Scout pancake breakfast. These guys know how to throw a party and I hear the Walter Group will have their oversized entertainment on hand again this year. For details check out www.busesbythebridge.com and don't forget to bring a warm body to snuggle with as the nights can get chilly.
Want to host an event and invite your ABC friends? Do it! Get on our yahoo group and let everyone know where to drive their old wrecks for a breakfast run, drive in movie, pool party or the event of your choice!
(Join our Yahoo group by sending an email to arizonabusclub-subscribe@yahoogroups.com or clicking here if you already have a Yahoo account, and watch your inbox fill up with more local VW discussions than you ever knew was possible. Plus, you'll get the latest on what's going on!)
Arizona Bus Club
An Arizona-based, family-oriented club, dedicated to the restoration, preservation, and enjoyment of the Volkswagen Transporter. Open to all Type II owners and all VW enthusiasts.
The ABC is a collection of drivers and hobbyists whose preferred mode of transportation is old air-cooled VWs, preferably buses. If that sounds like the kind of crowd you'd like to hang out with, come to our monthly general meeting or look us up at a show.
We love camping with friends in the desert, up in the pines, out on the coast, anywhere! The ABC attends all the big shows and we help our sister clubs just as they help us. We spend time working on our rides and welcome anyone interested in Volkswagen buses to join the fun. There is a Yahoo email group which comes in handy for setting up impromptu events or picking each others brains.
We restore a split window bus every year and raffle it off in September at our signature event, the Jerome Jamboree. Like always, the event is at the Historic Gold King Mine in beautiful Jerome, Arizona. Congratulations to PAUL JACQUES on winning the beautiful 1967 Riviera Camper!
Last year's proceeds were divided up and donated to the Jerome Volunteer Fire Department, Paradise Valley Food Bank, Arizona Humane Society and the Paradise Valley Food bank.
We meet monthly on the 3rd Wednesday of every month except December when there is no meeting because we get together at the Christmas party. 7pm is the suggested start time but come early to get a good seat, have some tasty grub, and meet some friendly folks. So come on in, enjoy the site, and hopefully we'll see you at a meeting or event soon!
