From YourSITE.com Events Coverage There was a celebration of all things VAG recently at the fairgrounds in York, Pennsylvania. Local residents may have been a bit confused watching a seemingly endless parade of Audis and Volkswagens streaming into town, but organizer Cory Sterling knew exactly what he was doing.
This was year three of VAG Fair, which is arguably one of the most relaxed of the larger east coast enthusiast shows. The nature of VAG Fair is no accident. Sterling, of Euro Auto Source, envisioned one huge backyard BBQ with several hundred of his closest friends and that’s exactly what he’s pulled off. Bring your grill, your beer, your kids, your dog, whatever you want, and just have a great time. Guests were happy to oblige and spent the warm August afternoon drinking, snacking, hanging out and enjoying the Euro scenery.
Of course plenty of vendors were also on hand. Companies like AP Tuning, Ross Tech, 8380, Dubkorps, Baak2Basics, NGP Racing, 4Ever Kustoms, Orchid Euro, AWE Tuning, and more had plenty to offer.
When asked what his favorite part of the show was, the show’s organizer had to take a moment to think. “The whole thing was my favorite,” he finally replied. “But if I had to pick one thing it would be setting up in the morning, with the mist coming over the field and the anticipation of what’s about to happen. There’s nothing like it.”
Approximately 700 cars were in attendance, which is about 225 more than last year. This show may be toddler age, but it just keeps on growing and leaving its mark. The old adage, “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” applies completely to VAG Fair. Next year expect more of the same laid-back, backyard BBQ fun. “I want the show to keep getting bigger and for people to keep having a good time,” Cory said. Based on VAG Fair’s history, that will certainly not be an issue.
