2012 Tomball Show A Huge Success!!!!!!!

On November 10, 2012, the North Houston VW Club in conjunction with the City of Tomball held it's second annual Bugs, Brew & BBQ Show in historic downtown, Tomball, TX. With well over 70 plus cars, excellent weather, lots of imported and domestic beers to taste, and BBQ off the charts, and live music, this annual event attracted huge crowds throughout the day's events.

Vendors of all kinds displayed their goods and services. A swap meet was on site for those always looking for great deals. The main raffle drawing of the 46" HD TV was given. Ida Scheiermacher of Spring, TX was the TV and donated it back to the club which then held an onsite auction. The TV auctioned off for $375.00 which was donated to charity.

The club would like to thank the City of Tomball for its sponsorship and host location, and DeMontrod VW for its' sponsorship of this event and all of our club's events throughout the years.

Below are some of this year's show winners.

Bugs, Brew & Barbecue event benefits Tomball
organization


The North Houston Volkswagen Club, a presenter of Tomball’s recent Bugs, Brew & Barbecue festival, has donated a portion of their car show revenue to the regional non-profit organization TOMAGWA Healthcare Ministries. According to NHVW Club treasurer Kathryn Hazlett, just over $500 was presented to TOMAGWA based on the organization’s continuing good works in the Tomball, Magnolia and Waller communities. Shown with the donation check are, from left, North Houston Volkswagen Club members Ida Schleiermacher and Kathryn Hazlett, with Tomball’s Community Events Coordinator Rosalie Dillon.For more information about Tomball’s festivals and events, call (281) 351-5484, visit www.ci.tomball.tx.us, or “like” Tomball on Facebook at facebook.com/TomballTexanForFun.

I will try and post them when I receive them so that all of our members can view his information. For information , click here to read his latest article on "NO LIGHT BEHIND".
