turned out to be a big success. We will be donating $2000.00 to the Lion’s Club. This
Website money will be used to help pay for a path that they are building to help children in
Debra McCrary wheelchairs and with walkers to be able to make their way to the lake near the camp in

Everyone who attended the show has committed on it and can’t wait for our 2009 show.

4th Annual Texas VW Classic
April 20—22, 2007 Fredericksburg, Texas
Fredericksburg, Texas is a small, German inspired town in
the hill county of Texas about an hour north of San Antonio.
The Texas VW Classic is held there every year and put on by
the Texas Club Coalition. This is the 4th year for their show
and its keeps getting bigger every year. Traveling to the
event were Dewey and Ann Robertson, Mark Rabalais and
Lori Aikmans, Terry and Jean Brouilette, Debra and Wade
McCrary, and Mitzi, David, Jenny and Andrew Eason.
Fredericksburg, the birthplace of Admiral Chester Nimitz, is a
beautiful town and is home to the National Museum of the
Pacific War. Wade, Mark and I got a chance to tour a small
part of this huge facility and can say its one of the best WWII
museums we have seen.
Between show events, we spent our time shopping, eating in
some great German restaurants, and sampling some great
German beer! On Friday, we enjoyed a small (about 50 cars)
cruise through the blue bonnet fields in the hills surrounding
Fredericksburg. On Satuday, we cruised through the countryside again with 158 cars and ended up at LBJ Ranch where
the hosts gave away picnic basket door prizes. We then joined about 500 people at Lady Bird Johnson State park for a
BBQ dinner.
The show began Sunday morning and we arrived early
to watch the Volkswagens roll in. I have to say, it was
the largest gathering of Beetles and buses we had ever
witnessed in one place! This year they had about 350
Volkswagens separated into 28 classes with seventeen
specialty trophies. After we got our cars cleaned up, we
spent the day examining the cars, talking with old
friends from the show circuit, meeting new ones,
visiting the vendors, and spreading the word about the
Cenla Bug Fest. Wade debuted his recently completed
1958 Beetle Ragtop and he placed 3rd in his class!
We had lunch at the Airport Diner next door to the park
and took a brief tour of the Hanger Hotel, a 1940’s style
diner and hotel that was decorated with WWII
memorabilia! We arrived back at the show in time to
form a club team for the German Fire Drill. Wade,
David, Mark, Jenny, Andrew and Lori pushed a
Volkswagen 50 yards, then had to pile inside it, all in
the quickest time possible. There were three club
teams competing, we came in 2nd! A video of the drill is
on our website at http://www.cenlavolksfolks.com. The
Texas Club Coalition deserves a huge thank you for a
first class show!
After the show, we took a slow cruise to the hill country
to see the blue bonnets with some club members who
missed it the first time. We and were joined by our
friends Donna and Jimmy
Davis, Steve and Elaine
Nelson and some of their
friends from the Texas
Manx club.
Monday morning, we all
headed back. The Easons
and the M c C r a r ys
stopped at the Blue Bell
Ice Cream factory in
Brennan, Texas for a great tour and samples and eventually we all made it home safe! We highly recommend this show
and Fredericksburg is the perfect place to vacation as well as attend the show! We plan to do just that next year!
