Thank you to all our sponsors, (in particular Comox Valley Volkswagen for supplying shirts and artwork), our suppliers, our host venue the Comox Valley Exhibition, all the awesome spectators along the cruise route (way more than ever before) and who came to the show, but most of all, thank you for all the participants bringing a huge variety of amazing Volkswagens to the Rhuari's Run Memorial Cruise and the Island Bug Jam Show N' Shine! Once again we broke our previous attendance record of ~70 cars at the cruise and 104 cars at the show! We also managed to raise $233.05 at the by-donation BBQ for MARS Wildlife Rescue!
ALSO: thanks to all the volunteers who helped make this all possible! You all rock!

Unfortunately FB won't let us tag all these great businesses and associations 😒
