Hello Fellow Volks Folks,
It’s almost time for everyone to be together again for Bus Benefit in Grand Rapids, MI May 18th – 20th! It looks like we are in for another great turn out of Bus Pilots and VW lovers from all over the country. If you have not made reservations please call the campground so we can plan camping space. Call Grand Rogue at 1-616-361-1053 located at 6400 West River Drive, Belmont, MI 49306. Make sure you tell them that you are with Buses By the Beach group so they can group us all together. www.grandrogue.com/
Helpful tips for those coming this weekend:
1. Plan for all of your meals except for Sunday Morning. We are going to have a breakfast for all the campers.
2. Alcohol is permitted, Drunks are not.
3. Please don not bring firewood. Please help stop the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer.
4. Kids are welcome. Grand Rogue Campground is a very kid friendly campground so feel free to bring bikes or toys for them to play with.
5. There will be lots of activities on Saturday at the Burn Survivor Car Show. They will be holding an auction with lots of great merchandise that has been donated by local retailers. And there is an activity area for kids. More info at www.burnsurvivorcarshow.com/flyer/
6. AJ’s Family Fun Center is within walking distance of the car show on Saturday. They have go-carts, mini-golf, large video arcade, and other games to keep the family entertained. More info at www.ajsfamilyfun.com/

7:00pm: Train Ride through the campground and in the woods.
Saturday:
8:15am: Line up for the Burn Survivor Car Show. We will be driving six miles down the road to the 5/3rd Ball Park. Plainfield Fire Dept. is coming to give us an escort with a fire truck to the car show. Please make sure to turn your hazard lights on and stay together. Yes we know it is early but it is a great time for a great cause!

8:30pm – 11:30pm: Gitchel Family Band will be entertaining us with their very special style of traditional music. The Gitchel Family Band won't allow themselves to be pigeon-holed into one genre of music. On any given night of a performance you may find yourself singing along to a gospel favorite, tapping your toes to a lively bluegrass song, clapping to the beat of Cajun fiddles, strolling down memory lane with a Dixie Land tune, or watching as they resurrect the memory of Hank Williams. www.gettinpicky.com/gitchel_family.htm
Sunday:
10:00am: Buses By the Beach Breakfast Brunch Bonanza for Bus Pilots. Special thanks to the many volunteers that make this happen. We would like to send everyone off with a full belly to thank everyone for a real good time!
Wishing you many miles of smiles as you travel in!
