We've put in many months of hard work to bring you the biggest and best Bug-a-Paluza yet, and it's now less than a week away!
Looks like it's going to be another sold out show with over 200 cars registered, and over 100 vendors. Virtually all of our vendor space is sold for the weekend, with the exception of an overflow area we've created to help accomodate more. This space is limited and will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis when the gates open Friday at noon.
We will try our best to get in as many show cars as possible, until the lot is full.
The trophies are being worked on as we speak. We look forward to giving them out on Sunday and we can't wait to see you there.

With less than two weeks to go, there is only now a few days left to pre-register. You have until April 9th to
register your show car, if you haven't already.
Vendor spaces have sold out for the weekend. We've rearranged the show layout to accommodate more vendors in response to last year's demand, and we've got even vendors pre-registered this year than we had
total at last year's show.
An unprecedented number of show cars are also pre-registered, which can only mean this year's show is sure to be bigger and better than ever before.

On Saturday, The Empire Strikes Back at Bug-a-Paluza 12.
The Mos Nooga Squad, a local chapter of the

Ronald McDonald House, the official charity of Bug-a-Paluza 12.
Be on the lookout for Storm Troopers, Sith Lords, Bounty Hunters, Clone Troopers, and more at Bug-a-Paluza on Saturday afternoon. Stop and say hi, or ask for a photo to be made with your VW!

You now have until April 9, 2010 to
pre-register for Bug-a-Paluza 12. We've extended the deadline a little, so be sure and register in time!
Also this year to make things more efficient we are having two registration tents, one for pre-regs and one for drive-ups. If you're pre-registered, you should be able to get in much faster without having to wait behind people filling out registration forms.
It's also cheaper to pre-register than pay at the gate, so register today!
