2009 was our first attempt at hosting a regional VW Thing event (or any VW event for that matter), and we certainly learned a lot (apparently, setting it up as a 3-day event was a bit too ambitious). The event was held Friday, May 15th through Sunday, May 17th at Harriman State park in NY. We had 5 VW Things in attendance and one VW Bug. Several other Thing owners showed up but unfortunately couldn't bring their Things. A good number of attendees opted to camp out both nights at the nearby campgrounds and rental cabins.
Unfortunately, the weather didn't want to cooperate. It was unseasonably cold, with either rain, heavy fog or high winds all weekend. Despite Mother Nature's attempt to put a damper on the event, those who attended had a good time. We got to talk shop, fire up the grills for breakfast and lunch, check out some cool Things and meet their owners. Thanks again to all who attended. Here's to hoping 2010 is even bigger and better!
It's a Thing event, but all air-cooled VW's are welcome...
