HIGHLIGHTS OF BUS BENEFIT 2010
Hello Fellow Bus Pilots!
We are so excited that we are only four weeks away from the 8th Annual Bus Benefit hosted by Buses By the Beach in Grand Rapids, MI May 20-23! (Always held the weekend before Memorial Day Weekend) This event is held to raise money for the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors. www.phoenix-society.org/
This year is shaping up to be a spectacular year. Some of the highlights of the weekend will be:
• Live music from several artists playing roots rock, folk, bluegrass, jam and singer song writer genres. This year’s artist line up showcases some of the finest home grown Michigan music. Performing this year will be:
o The Stone Boogie Band – www.myspace.com/stoneboogieband
o Rosevelt Diggs - www.rooseveltdiggs.com/
o Jen Sygit - www.jensygit.com/
o Sam Corbin - www.samcorbin.com/
o Hawks and Owls String Band - www.hawksandowls.com/HOcover_page.htm
o Nicholas James - www.reverbnation.com/nicholasjamesthomasma
o And maybe more…
• Hundreds of VW Camping related items worth thousands of dollars will be given away at the Buses By the Beach Raffle. A couple of the big prizes are the brand new (one only) Buses By the Beach Ayers acoustic guitar and the awesome Buses By the Beach hand made quilt. Last year there were many Volks Folks that took a square to design themselves for the quilt. It has come together now into a quilt that everyone is sure to want! It is so cool!
• Beer Tasting hosted by Hop Cat Brewery. Hop Cat Brewery has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame amongst Michigan beer connoisseurs. Last year they were a hit at Buses By the Beach with their newly developed “Honey Sage Beer.”
• Carabus that will take you on a short journey through some beautiful country roads.
• Annual Blessing of the Buses.
• And many, many more activities…. (more details will be coming out soon)
LAST CALL FOR T-SHIRT PRE-ORDER!!!!!!
If you haven’t taken the time to order your T-shirt yet we would suggest you get it done soon! Think of how silly you are going to look standing there with no shirt on. :-) This is especially important if you need a size other than men’s large. There will be a limited number of large shirts at the event and they do sell out fast. So the only way to ensure you will have a shirt is to pre-order. There will be no women’s or kids shirt sizes available at the campout so those must be pre-ordered.
Deadline for T-Shirt pre-orders are 5:00pm Friday April 30th!
To order shirts email brien@busesbythebeach.com with the following information:
• Name
• Address (If you want your shirts shipped)
• Phone Number
• Style (Men’s, Women’s, Kid’s)
• Short Sleeve ($20), Long Sleeve ($22) (Long sleeve in Men’s and Kid’s only)
• Size
• Quantity
• Payment Type (Cash, Check, Visa/MC)
Once again our friend Mary Wisnewski has outdone herself on the Buses By the Beach 2010 T-Shirt design! It is a very cool Vintage Vegas theme. Check it out here: busesbythebeach.com/shirt.html
CAMPGROUND INFORMATION
A big thank you goes to Grand Rogue who will be donating $5.00 per camping night per site to the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors. Camping and Visitors rate is $25.00 per night. This rate is a single adult or family rate (Mom & Dad & Kids). If you bring multiple vehicles and you are one family (no more than 2 adults & kids) then you will only pay for one spot. We have a large area that we park the buses in. There are no assigned camping spots. First come first serve. Some spots have electric and water available. If you wish to be guaranteed a site with electric the rate will be $33.50 per night and it will be in another area of the campground and not with the Buses By the Beach Group.
Everyone is welcome to attend whether they have a Bus or not. Those wishing to camp within the Buses Group area will need a VW. (Any model) Only trailers and campers being towed by a VW will be allowed to camp in this area. Spots may be chosen and set up may begin on a first come first serve basis after 2 pm on the arrival day. Due to insurance and liability reasons visitors must register as a camper and pay the nightly camping fee. Visitors must leave the park by 11 pm. All dogs must be on a leash. Because these are special discounted rates, camping spot fees are based on cash or check only. Visitor’s fees are cash only. Please, if you have any questions at all contact:
