Well behaved dogs on a leash are welcome. Owners must pick up after their dogs and are liable for any injuries or damage their dog may cause.

Yes we will have several food trucks, and portable toilets and hand washing stations.

What does it cost to register a Show Vehicle?

The cost to register a vehicle in the car show is $25 on line, $35 at the gate. On line registration will close May 18th or when we run out of spaces which ever comes first.

How do I register online?

Go to https://www.govwec.org/car-show-preregistration/

Fill out the form completely. Hit the submit button and you will be taken to the website store to pay $25. Registration is not completed until you pay.

Is there a swap meet?

Yes, there is a Swap Meet. You can purchase a 10′ x 10′ space for $15 or 10′ x 20′ space for $25 online, price goes up the day of the show and must be paid in cash. Tow vehicles must not be parked in the swap meet space without special permission, there will be an attraction designated for tow vehicles.

Go to swap meet registration to register for a space. Registration is not complete until the space is paid for.

What is Preferred Parking?

Preferred parking is reserved parking for eligible vehicles that do not wish to participate for a trophy. Preferred parking area will be next to the car show vehicles. It will save you a long walk from Spectator parking.

Which vehicles are eligible for the car show?

Eligible Vehicles are:

  • Any Volkswagen branded vehicle Volkswagen ever made  
  •  Any vehicle powered by any engine ever manufactured by Volkswagen 
  •  Any  Porsche ever made including replicas
  • Any Audi ever made

Eligible Vehicles may register to compete for a trophy or may park in Preferred parking.

What if I just show up with my show car without pre-registering?

You will need to pay full day of show price ($35)

Late vehicles will not be parked with similar vehicles ( i.e. Split or Bay Window buses, campers and trucks are parked in Bus row) but will be grouped together, this may impact how many people vote for a vehicle in its trophy class.

Why is VWEC encouraging preregistration for Show cars, Preferred parking and Swap Meet

Pre-registration ensures that after you drive out to the Park, there is a space waiting for you (swap meet, preferred parking, show vehicle parking).  Additionally, some effort will be made to get similar cars parked together (that is we will have bus row and will try to have a bug area and a water cooled area.

Is there an ATM at the show?

Not in the park, but there are ATMs at banks and businesses at the major intersections near the park.
