WHEN: Friday June 21-23, 2019
WHERE: Roswell, New Mexico, USA
WHO: Head Alien, Antoine De Hon, assistant Head Alien, Howie Lipton
WHAT: Our biennial New Beetle event and car show
WHY: To celebrate our friendship and love for the VW New Beetle
Summary: The New Beetle show in Roswell started in the year 2000. New Beetles from Canada and the US came together in Roswell, NM to enjoy each other's company after the silver NB was featured in a VW TV ad, "reverse engineered by UFO's". Instead of just silver NBs attending, it was suggested that New Beetles of all 8 colours be allowed to attend. And so the show was born. The show has been featured in TV shows and magazines. We've participated in many different activities, including driving skills courses, a Drive-in theater, cavern tours, and swap meets. There are also various caravans from all over the country, and even Canada, so choose one and join the fun!
Host Hotel: *** The host hotel will be the Comfort Suites at the north end of the city; 3610 N. Main St. The special rates for participants is $84 King, $89 2 Queen beds, all non-smoking (normally $149), plus tax. Please call the hotel directly for the special rate (575-623-5501) and mention you are with the VW Beetle group. OR, email Edie: suitesalesroswell@gmail.com if there's a problem. Please let them know your arrival/departure dates, keeping in mind that the CENTRAL Caravan arrives on Thursday, not Friday. Price includes hot breakfast buffet, and swimming/hot tub facilities. There are lots of hotels in Roswell, each offering different prices and amenities, so you are free to stay at one of them instead... but why bother?
