We will start with a DKK Cruise night on Friday evening, followed by the OCTO Bus show Saturday morning and finally ended off with the VW Revival Sunday morning! Full Car Show, Swap Meet, Food Trucks, Live Music and Special Displays. We have also locked down the original “Classic” Host Hotel for the weekend, so make your room reservations today!
