Hello folks!

This is a reminder about the fall cruise tomorrow. We will be departing from Car City at 10:00 am. We will be cruising through the menomonie area from Eau Claire so if there is anyone from that area that wants to just catch up with the cruise there then let us know right away so that we can set up a meeting area. Hope to see everyone there. We will be meeting up with the Twin Cities VW club in Pepin for lunch and VW conversation. Lets show them just how grand the CVVC is.

Wisconsin Volkswagen Annual Car Show

thecvvc — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 03:12:40 +0000

If you have not been to a CVVC show lately, then you do not know what you are missing. We are not just your average car show. We aim to be a show that can be enjoyed by the whole family, with fun filled games and activities for all ages. This year we want to add even more family fun by having a cookout after the Friday night cruise. Just bring your own meat or main dish to grill and the CVVC will provide the rest. Later you are welcome to join us around the campfire. We hope to see you again this year. We know you will have fun.

Below you will find a selection of Annual Car Show information and Pictures.

CVVC 2007 Annual Car Show Update

thecvvc — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 05:04:12 +0000

Hello gang!
I can’t believe that the show is almost here. Where did the time go? We are excited to be able to earn money for the MDA this year and we have a few larger prizes that folks will be able to donate money in exchange for a chance to win. These will enclude three large remote control VW’s and it sounds like MDA may have a signed Green Bay Packer football.

I had a complete run down on the show in the last newsletter so if you have questions you can refer to that. I do want to remind everyone that we could use help setting things up both Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. We are asking all club members to arrive early on Saturday morning to help get things started. We also still need volunteers for games and duties at the show.

Also I just want to make sure that nobody is doing their rain dance. We do not want a soggy show. That would be soooooo sad!

If you have door prizes to turn in then please bring them along on Friday night and make sure that you have everything labled with the name of the business that did the donating.

Well, gotta run. So much to do and soooooooo little time.

See you all soon!
