Here we go again, is anyone considering the 2013 June Jitterbug in Niagara falls Ontario? Passports will be needed to cross the border.
3rd Sunday in June. I will post more info as I get it.
Cruise the wine country on Saturday, Car show Sunday. 2 years ago over 400 entries. I read that last year had 1500+
I have gone 5 times over the years, camp out at Campark on Lundy's Lane. As do many others from the VW community. Always had a good time. I go down on the Friday, come home on Monday.
It has been about 5 years since I have attended so I am due.

I was going to try to go to the Canadian GP this year as well so I think this wont happen this time unless the oil really starts pumping out of the ground.

Hello, 225 views only one comment. Will I be going alone? Would be nice to meet some of you. A weekend of camping, beer, cruising, beer, car show, beer, rest, come home. For my American friends that cannot handle the Canadian beer too well we will be serving orange juice, milk and Koolaid. But on a serious note it is a great time. Lots to see and do in Niagara Falls. Hotels are available for those afraid of the wilderness. We also put the igloos away in the freezer in the summer time to preserve them for winter.

287 views. Are you guys afraid of having a good time and consuming some Canadian beer? Less than a month to go.

Sounds like fun, but I haven't earned enough vacation time yet for a trip yet. And really "orange juice, milk and Koolaid  " You haven't had any real American beer until you have something from a local brewery, forget the big name companies  Hopefully when I'm rich and infamous  I'll be able to go to more than local shows. But until then, I'll just have to settle for listening to the good times everyone else has, my time will come... |

Well at least the orange juice comment got a response from someone. Don't know the labor laws in the US but up here you receive a minimum of 2 weeks paid per year. Hopefully my tow system works well so I can do the show in Effingham next year.

Well I am almost ready to head down to Niagara. Last minute packing and hookups in the am. For anyone considering a visit, the show is on Sunday at Fireman's Park from 10am to about 3 or 4pm. I would consider having a beer for all my friends here that cannot make it but I do have to drive home on Monday. I will be taking pixs and will post some.

Had a great time. Had a few beer for everyone. Took the Bradley on a 3 hr cruise and found out my fuel tank and lines need a cooler. Tank got hot enough to almost boil the fuel. Got a hesitation on accel and idle was unstable. Fortunately I made it without a breakdown.
