MBBpg1_MBB_cover_2011 1/14/16 2:26 PM Page 1 Promoters Of The Michigan Buggy Builders Trade Show Please Send All Correspondence To: P.O. Box 3981 . Costa Mesa . CA . 92628 Phone (517) 402-1303 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR EVENT ON MARCH 13, 2016 The Michigan Buggy Builders Show began as a simple swap meet, and it evolved into a “trade show” after a few years when some of the local manufacturers and larger businesses began setting up booths. The show has continued to grow with professional booths and a full line of new products, but you can also scrounge around and find lots of rare “garage finds” that people bring from their private collections. THE 35th ANNUAL EVENT WILL BE ON MARCH 13, 2016 Get ready for another great show! The Michigan Buggy Builders VW & Off-Road Trade Show and Swap Meet will be celebrating its 35th Annual event on March 13th. Be sure to mark your calendars now, and you can also flip to Page 3 inside this newsletter for more details about the location, event hours, and how to reach us for additional information. Each year, the event changes slightly, and it seems as if you never know what you’ll see or find at this event. Reason being, there are always new people who come to the show and set up selling spots with used parts that they pull out of their garages. Everyone is welcome to sign up for a spot, and we make it easy for friends to purchase multiple spots and set up next to each other so they can help each other during the day. If you have questions about doing this, please feel free to contact us and we’ll be more than happy to explain the simple process. This year’s event is sure to be bigger and better than last year. Many of the same exhibitors from the past have committed to booth spaces for this year, and a lot of new people have already inquired about selling spots. We hope you also take advantage of the large crowds that attend the show by reserving a booth to sell your used parts and spares. It’s always a good time! What makes this event unique is that it takes place in a professional “trade show hall.” The show is held in the three main halls at the Lansing Center, in downtown Lansing, MI, and this is a one-day event. People ask us why the doors do not open to the public until after 10 a.m. The reason is that we are not allowed to open to the public until the vendors have moved their vehicles out of the building. So, if you want to enter the show halls early, you will need to purchase a spot. The prices are fair and you can share a spot with your friends. We are grateful to announce that B&L Sand Toys will be the lead sponsor for the 35th Annual Michigan Buggy Builders event. They are joined by co-sponsors Appletree Automotive, Don’s Sport Vehicle Sales, ACME Car Company, Alpha Fab Industries, Hot VWs and Sand Sports magazines, Drew’s Off-Road, Barnum’s Bug Barn, LA Products, Whitehill’s Buggy Shop, MOFOCO, German AutoWerks and US 131 Motorsports Park. Ask anyone and they’ll tell you this is a great event and it’s always well worth the price of admission. We do everything we can to make it fun for spectators, as well as people with selling spots. So, if you have any additional questions or if you’re thinking of getting a spot for the first time, we encourage you to call now before we sell out. We hope you join us for another successful event. B&L will also be back with their impressive exhibit of off-road parts, suspension components and other parts for your sand and trail machine. They will also have a full line of RC Cars, videos from events they sponsored during 2015, and information about vouchers and season passes for the Silver Lake State Park. Don’t miss out! You can also count on getting good deals from the other businesses that support this event. One of the reasons many of the attendees tell us they come to the show each year is because there’s always something new to find from the private sellers. Who knows what treasures are hiding inside someone’s garage, until they bring them to the Buggy Builders swap meet. The following pages will give you a better idea of what this show has to offer, including display ads from supporting businesses and a sign-up form to get your own selling spots. Be sure to visit our website for more information about hotels in the Lansing area and directions to the event. We hope to see you at the “Midwest’s Largest VW and OffRoad Swap Meet.” It seems to get better each and every year!
