De koe bij de horens vatten, or Take the bull at his horns as they say here in the USA is a really good thing to do, don’t wait till its over but do now what You have to do!
Couldn’t resist to take this picture from me with the Swiss cheese cow (look at the holes in its body) as we both wear glasses of the same style…. maybe I better had become a farmer (what I wanted to become when I was Younger!) …LOL!
Tomorrow I give You a real BBT product update, (life goes on, also when travelling…:)) and I work on a couple of cool blog posts about real Americana for the weekend! stay tuned and follow my travel on your Favourite BBT blog!
The final day today… crazy how times flies when you have a good time!
As it was a celebration event they had a cake contest! Wowh some cakes been a real work of art, don’t want to eat them (my doctor tells me its not good for me anyway….LoL)
cozy camping….
Saturday night entertainment kicked of with the Boysband The Lemon Brothers… imagine these guys rocked the tiles of the roof! They’re only 11 years old, wowh! Now that was entertainment!
After dinner there was the real work… Tons of Fun band was a formation with no less as 11 musicians all from top top level! The band was/is build up around the former leadsinger from REO Speedwagen… as we all know (at least I didn’t!) REO Speedwagen was grounded in Champaign Illinois not even 100 miles a way from Mid America HQ! What a blast! Especially the horn section was a lust for the eyes and ears!
This is the man! This is the God of VW entertainment in the MidWest! Mike Yager, Chief cheerleader of MidAmerica…. Thanks Mike for putting on such a great event, Thanks for the invitations, thanks for everything!
Sunday morning was very slow, I gave another seminar about car collecting, and why You love certain cars more like others… I also gave one on Saturday and Friday but we forgot to take pictures…:)
The end of the show was coming by and everybody packed up about ready to leave… I thought this was a nice combo…. in the USA at least there’s some place for driving these big animals…
Just a “normal” beetle, but how nice and original restored it was, a real candy for the eye! Mike gave him a serious award in the final price ceremony, as many others! Well deserved! Congratulations…
….on our way back to Chicago…. we’ve been passed by a monster! The brother of White Whale listen to the name of Black whale….:)
Hopefully I find some more time to take some more pictures from the rest of the trip! Stay tuned!
