The Mid America VW Funfest

If you didn't know I love the old beetles. I have a 1979 Convertible Super Beetle. I just love it. We have had it about 8 years. Bought before children and now that we have more kids that seats we have decided to sell.

Recognize these hippies?

Matt and I tooled on up to Effingham, IL to this spectacular car show. We had an ulterior motive to sell our bug, but that didn't happen. 

Mid America puts on the midwests largest Volkswagen car show and I'll tell you they had all the details taken care of. Everything was simple and smooth with registration and questions. The only problem was the rain. It rained both days. Not just a sprinkle but a good douse several times. The field was a monsoon. The ground was so saturated there was nowhere for the water to go.

My favorite part of the whole show was our fun run. We signed up to drive in the "parade" of vw's. It was a twelve mile drive through the country and then into the old square.

This bug was a pixar executive made car. Can you tell why? Here's a hint - Bugs Life.

This is the world's Largest Baja Beetle. It was rocking the square. All 10,000 pounds of her called Big Red

The square was filled with all kinds of volkswagons. There were dumbuggies, buses, and beetles. There were so many in the fun run that we ran out of room on the square to park.

Doesn't this make you think of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

So cool. These owners have thought of every detail.

Everyone had their cars all shined up. See me in the hubcap?

Matt thinks our family would look good in a bus since we have outgrown our bug.

Good weekend for Matt and I to have some couple time. But not a great weekend for a sale. No one sold their bug. I guess buyers didn't make it through the rain.
