St-Georges Open - 2020
2020-05-23 16:00 - 2020-05-24 08:00 | Camping Ste emelie, pin Camping Ste emelie 1551 Rte Saint-Joseph, Sainte-Émélie-de-l'Énergie, QC, J0K 2K0, Canada
Événement annulé / Event Cancelled

(English below)
Pour une septième édition, la famille St-Georges élargie, vous invite à ouvrir (Open) votre saison wesfalienne 2020, sur les bords de la sinueuse Rivière Noir, Ste-Émélie-de-l’Énergie, dans Lanaudière. Un rassemblement de boittes carrés, sans aucune affiliation à un groupe “officiels”. La folie des détenteurs d’un VW sur le nez, est la “facile” raison, de la réunion.
Les conditions sont simples. 20$ par nuit par wess, payable au proprios du camping, à votre arrivée à la réception (argent comptant svp). Vous serai alors dirigé vers le site officiel, ou des St-Georges vous accueilleront avec le “sticker” autocollant 2020. Ils vous quémanderont $10 par personne, pour des raisons qui ne sont pas de vos affaires. Les emplacements sont sans service. Aucune réservation requise.
Comme pour les autres années, le souper du samedi sera tous ensemble, pour communier à la même grande table. Sur place, pour vous, les alléchants cuisiniers et leurs Big BBQ vous prépareront divers délicieuses saucisses 1A 3 étoiles et les fameuses grillades qui donnent soif (Boucherie L’Ère Bête de Rawdon). Pommes de terre cuites dans la braise vous y attendront aussi (Ferme Rivest-Bourgeois), mais les gens ont l’habitude d’y apporter leurs accompagnements mangeables (et buvables évidement …).
Cette année, l’événement prend une tournure musicale, parce que le westeux aime la musique. . . Les St-Georges aussi !
* Le vendredi, Môssieu atmosphère avec sa jaune machine, le DJ Michel Harvey sera sur place, et vous titillera les oreilles de l’age de votre embarcation, selon les besoins et son humeur.
* Le samedi soir, de retour après une mémorable prestation l’an passé, le Piano man Bernard Quessy et son clavier, avec son talent musical rassembleur…
. . . C’est long comme texte, mais nous terminons avec les réponses aux questions habituelles.
— Beau temps mauvais temps. L’option abris sera à valeur ajoutée, parce que 5 fois sur 6, il pleut au St-Georges Open. Si jamais le site est inaccessible ( Rivière Noir qui n’a pas reprise sont lit, ou déluge ),nous nous déplacerons sur le camping, ou il y a de l’espace et un grand chapiteau.
— Les chiens, chats et autres de compagnie, devront obligatoirement être tenus en laisses. Les enfants peuvent être lousses, mais la rivière est haute et le courant fort . Une surveillance accrue est de rigueur.
— Il y a, avant l’entrée du site du St-Georges Open, des espaces de camping (plateau des bouleaux), pour ceux qui n’on malheureusement pas, de westfalia.
— Bien que vos amis soit les bienvenus au camping Ste-Émélie,à notre grande tablée, et autour de nos feux de fin de soirées, le St-Georges Open privilégie le westfalien. pensez y !

For a seventh edition, the extended St-Georges family invites you to open your 2020 Wesfalian season (Open) on the banks of the winding Rivière Noir, Ste-Émélie-de-l’Énergie, in Lanaudière. A collection of square boxes, without any affiliation to an “official” group. The madness of the holders of a VW on the nose, is the “easy” reason, of the meeting.
The conditions are simple. $ 20 per night per wess, payable to the campsite owner, upon arrival at the reception (cash please). You will then be directed to the official website, where St-Georges will welcome you with the 2020 sticker. They will beg you $ 10 per person, for reasons that are not your business. The pitches are without service. No reservation required.
As in other years, the Saturday supper will be all together, for communion at the same large table. On the spot, for you, the enticing cooks and their Big BBQ will prepare you various delicious 1A 3 star sausages and the famous grills that make you thirsty (Boucherie L’Ère Bête de Rawdon). Potatoes cooked in embers will also be waiting for you (Ferme Rivest-Bourgeois), but people are used to bringing their edible accompaniments (and drinkable of course …).
This year, the event takes a musical turn, because the westeux likes music. . . The St-Georges too!
* On Friday, Môssieu atmosphere with his yellow machine, DJ Michel Harvey will be on site, and will tickle your ears the age of your boat, according to the needs and his mood.
* On Saturday evening, back after a memorable performance last year, the Piano man Bernard Quessy and his keyboard, with his unifying musical talent …
. . . It’s a long text, but we finish with the answers to the usual questions.
— Rain or shine. The shelter option will be of added value, because 5 times out of 6, it rains at the St-Georges Open. If ever the site is inaccessible (Black River which has not taken over its bed, or deluge), we will move to the campsite, where there is space and a large marquee.
— Companion dogs, cats and others, must be kept on a leash. Children may be loose, but the river is high and the current strong. Increased surveillance is essential.
— Before the entrance to the St-Georges Open site, there are camping spaces (birch plateau), for those who unfortunately do not have westfalia.
— Although your friends are welcome at the Ste-Émélie campsite, at our big table, and around our late evening fires, the St-Georges Open favors the Westfalien. think about it!

Sunday is the show and swap meet. This year we will be adding a VW bus photo booth, in addition to more vendors offering clothing, art, and other VW related goodies. There will be an engine blow contest again, food trucks, games and activities for the kids, hood pull, push drags, and new this year- a LARGE gathering of air-cooled Porsches.

Bayfield Volksfest - 7th Annual
2021-09-24 12:00 - 2021-09-26 17:00 | Bayfield, Ontario, Clan Gregor Square, Bayfield, Ontario, N0M 1G0, Canada
TENTATIVE EVENT – will update as info becomes available.
From the event host – Ryan Somers:

Hey friends!

I’m working out some (tentative) plans for Bayfield Volkfest weekend — Fri. Sept. 24 to Sun. Sept. 26, 2021.

We are looking at camping for two nights: Fri. and Sat.

I am also looking at doing a cruise/tour of local breweries and wineries, and looking for feedback on which day makes more sense.

Would you prefer we do the cruise on Friday afternoon, before arriving at “camp?” Or would it be better to just show up on Friday, and then do the cruise on Saturday during the day? (I know some people like to “set up camp” and might not want to move the bus again until decamping, but I also figure some people might have to work Friday, and won’t get here until the evening anyway…)

Let me know your thoughts!

Here’s what I’m looking at (tentatively — all subject to change!):

Fri. Sept. 24
Afternoon — arrive at camp
Evening — BBQ & camp fire

Sat. Sept. 25
Morning — breakfast
Day — cruise/tour of local breweries & wineries
Evening — BBQ & camp fire & live music

Sun. Sept. 26
Morning — breakfast
Day — Bayfield Volkfest in Clan Gregor Square (Bayfield)

More details coming soon, but we have the Square (tentatively) booked with the town, and are slowly piecing together details. We are looking at options for where to camp, we could potential be back at The Ashwood again, or perhaps use the facilities at Camp Kintail (just north of Goderich) which is right on the lake.

Let me know your thoughts and I can’t wait to see you all!!!

K-W & Area Bug Club - Fall Colour Cruise - 2021
2021-10-11 13:00 - 14:30 | GO Park and Ride, 202 Brock Rd S, Guelph, Ontario, N1H 6H9, Canada
K-W & Area Bug Club – Fall Colour Cruise
Monday October 11th
1:00 PM
Hi all,
The end of the VW cruising season is approaching quickly, with folks putting their rides away for the winter. Before that happens, lets have a last chance cruise to see some of the beautiful fall colours. This will be a rain or shine event.
This is an open event to the entire VW community brought to you by the K-W & Area Bug Club.
Since this is a socially distant car cruise, we will be meeting at the GO Park and Ride lot in Aberfoyle ( 198-, 202 Brock Rd S, Guelph, ON N1H 6H9 ). Be sure to enter the parking lot from McLean Road. Please arrive just a few minutes before we depart Maps/Directions will be provided.
Prior to departing, you may wish to top off the tank. There are many service stations near the car lot. There is food and washrooms in the area as well.
We expect this to be about a one and a half hour cruise through the Puslinch area.
Apologies to our members in the outlying regions. It’s tough to plan something for everyone. Even if you can’t attend, please go out and enjoy a ride in your VW, and send us a picture or video from your fall drive, we’ll post it on our social media.
Looking forward to the cruise and we hope you can make it!
Thanks!
Mark & Melissa Brown
K-W & Area Bug Club
