Busses by the Bridge 13
Lake Havasu City, Arizona

 


3 days of camping next to Lake Havasu
Raffle
Stuff for kids and adults
Top 10 maybe 20 awards, judged by just regular people with no club or real VW
affiliation, so if you don't win don't get MAD the general public just didn't pick you.
We would like to do a CHILE COOK-OFF tasting again, SO, MAKE CHILE, home made, out of a can, frozen and thawed, we don't care, there are just a bunch of hungry people and you could win a Trophy. We need more then 3 or 4 entrants. This is held on Saturday at approx. 4 p.m. or so, so you can prep yourself and be ready.

We start letting people in around 7 to 9 a.m. on Friday morning, basically when all the crew is here, which is usually early then later.

NOW THE RULES
NO GLASS< NO GLASS< NO GLASS. PLEASE put all beverages in PLASTIC containers, cups etc. This means when walking around, IN YOUR CAMP really anywhere on State Park property. This is a State Parks RULE and is ENFORCED,
we could lose the site if you don't follow this rule. We should have cups available on the stage FOR FREE for you to use.

DOGS and/or any animal. MUST BE ON A LEASH at ALL times, NO EXCEPTIONS.
PLEASE follow this rule and PICK UP after your dog, nobody likes stepping in it or smelling it. Again this is a STATE PARKS RULE and we could loose the site by just ONE person thinking their above this rule.

QUIET TIME. Quiet time starts at 10 P.M. This is our rule. Everyone likes to party and have a blast, but people also like to sleep as do their kids. SO we ask everyone to quiet down at 10 P.M. This is all loud music, boom boxes, drum circles (cut off time for drum circles is from 9p.m. to 8p.m.9 you get an hour), scream fest, and just super loud talk.

Entry is 25 dollars for the whole weekend!!!!!!!! 1 bus with everyone in it.
VENDOR 50 dollars for the whole weekend (contact
ronnie@bustoration.com) to reserve a spot.
Walk-ins 2 bucks per person for the WHOLE weekend

If you have a general question go to
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=310100 ask and you'll get an answer from one of the hundreds of people that watch the forum and have been to numerous BBB events

There is plenty of parking next to the event for trailers, friends that come in other then VW's, motorhomes, airplanes, boats, tractors or whatever else you might show up in that's not a VW.

THIS IS a VW BUS camping event, we will allow non VW buses to camp (beetles, squarbacks, etc.) with their friends in buses or in the overflow area (if not with a bus). This is done to allow ALL THE BUSES to be seen in the event and not forced to park in the over flow due to a group of NON BUSES taking up space.

Come out and have fun, see your friends, meet new ones, see our lake, visit our city. Plenty of resturants, stores, etc, close by

Or mail to Brian O'Kelly, 2014 Kleck Rd, Paso Robles, CA 93446

Awards: Now's your chance to get back at all those event organizers who never get it right Wink. Bring your own award, serious, funny, or just outside the box to give to whoever you think is deserving. You can announce it yourself or we will do it according you your instructions! This could be a fun alternative to the usual show awards. Be creative and have some fun!

Burger, Chips and a Drink will also be available for $5.
