Mid America Motorworks corporate campus in Effingham, IL was flooded with Volkswagens of all types during the 10th Annual Funfest for Air-Cooled VW. This years Funfest had, yet again, record breaking numbers. Throughout the two day customer appreciation party, there were over 1,300 Volkswagens and 8,000 enthusiasts that flocked the grounds at Mid America Motorworks.

This year Mid America Motorworks honored special guest Bruce Meyers and his creation, the Meyers Manx Dune Buggy. There are now many different styles of Dune Buggies, but Bruce Meyers is the man who started it all.

"Funfest for Air-Cooled VW was a huge success." said Mike Yager, founder and Chief Cheerleader at Mid America Motorworks. "As we played host to attendees from 29 states and Canada this year we made sure there was something for everyone."

One highlight of the event was the Dune Buggy Build that took place during the free two day event. A group from dunebuggyarchives.com was challenged with the task of building a dune buggy from the ground up in just two days. Without a doubt, this was exciting to watch. The group achieved the impossible late Sunday afternoon and had the Buggy outside the tent for a photo shoot.

Mike Yager once again led 250 Volkswagens on a fun filled 20 mile scenic Road Tour this year. Mid America Motorworks added a twist this year to the tour and turned it into a Poker Run Road Tour. Participants loved this feature as the tour ended back at the grounds at Mid America Motorworks to see who won the prizes for the best poker hand.

After the Road Tour, Mid America Motorworks still had more in store for their customers that evening. A Chuck Wagon BarBQ, bonfire and live entertainment were waiting for them upon their arrival from the 20 mile cruise.
