Join in special Herbie activities...
As you can see, our Herbie friends are planning a full weekend (www.herbies50yrreunion.com), joining us on Sunday for our special celebration, having Joaquin Garay III at the show for pictures and autographs as well as cutting the cake and drawing the winner of the 1973 Herbie Beetle.
The Lakeland VW Classic has always been a two day show with Buses on Saturday with overnight camping (all vehicle types welcomed on Saturday) , and then the main event on Sunday with a Totally Free Turnkey car being given away. This year, the Herbie's are planning a number of activities that might offer some alternatives for all our VW owners.
In Orlando, Friday the 15th of March starting at 2:30pm, they will be meeting at the brand new Dezer Action Park/Car Museum on International Drive for a afternoon filled with over 1000 show cars on display, personal time with Joaquin Garay III, dinner, an outside showing of The Love Bug and more. All VW's, all types, all conditions (no limitations) are invited to join them, especially for special photo ops with Joaquin and parked at the outdoor drive-in. They are expecting to have both Hot VW Magazine and Super VW Magazine from Germany at the museum covering the event.
On Saturday, March 16th, again starting at around 2:30 and lasting to around 8:30, they will be celebrating at Old Town USA. Old Town is known for the longest, largest Saturday night car shows in the US but they do have restrictions. The cars, buses, etc., must be 1983 and older and must be show worthy. Vehicles with rust holes, etc., are not allowed so please don't expect to be let in just because you are a VW owner. There are plenty of restaurants to eat at, shops to shop at, and all types of entertainment including live on-stage bands. The Herbie's would love to have you join them if you are in the area.
And of course, on Sunday the 17th, we will be celebrating with them in Lakeland at the RJ Funding Center. Joaquin should be at the show from around noon to the end of the show for photo ops, autographs, etc., so we encourage you to be at the show and planning on staying until the cutting of the cake and car give-a-way.
