The Arizona Bus Club presents:
Jerome Jamboree XXVI (That's #26 for all you non-Romans)
Held in beautiful Jerome, Arizona at 5066' elevation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome,_Arizona
That's right...Don at the Gold King Mine Ghost Town in Jerome, AZ has agreed to let us play in his front yard again this year. Come join several hundred of your closest friends and a few hundred of their awesome Type-2's on the edge of Cleopatra Hill with the mountains of Sedona as our backdrop. In addition to live (and sometimes Dead) music, slow drags, corn hole competition, chili cook off, kids events, raffle prizes, the world’s largest VW bus "Walter" & his oversized friends...you get a chance to win this year’s raffle bus for only $0.50 (really fifty-cents) with proceeds going to local charities.
Every year the ABC restores and raffles off a pre-67 split window bus and this year is no exception. We been working on this year’s bus and boy is it a beauty...a 1962 Double Door Panel VW bus. Feeling energetic and want to help work on what could be your new bus? Well visit our website for details on the work parties: http://www.azbusclub.org
Or check out the progress on the 2016 Raffle Bus: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6...ght=jerome
If you come to JJ-XXVI expecting shade trees, barefoot grass and a babbling brook with KOA grade camping facilities...you are in for a treat because we have none of that. This fine facility is a large gravel parking lot which is mostly flat and devoid of any vegetation but there will be port-O-johns, trash cans and "Bus Burger" concessions for your convenience. Basically...if you need it, you better bring it.
Besides the nearby historic mining town of Jerome...there is a really sweet attraction within staggering distance called the Gold King Mine Ghost Town and we highly recommend you save a $5 bill out of your raffle ticket fund to tour the grounds for displays of relics from your parents, grandparents and great grandparents time from long ago...Don may even bless us with a drive by of one of his many fine vehicles from up on the hill. http://www.goldkingmineghosttown.com
Huge caravan from Phoenix, AZ to Jerome Friday morning.
Meet at Home Depot parking lot I-17 & Thunderbird Rd (N.E. quadrant)
Depart at 7:30AM SHARP! Just catch up on the highway if you're late. The caravan will usually not exceed 50-mph. A short stop in Prescott Valley at the Safeway grocery store next to Kmart before climbing over Mt Mingus. Please do not pass the lead bus in the caravan and be safe!
JEROME JAMBOREE XXVI September 16-18th, 2016 Whats going on?
Raffle prizes Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday morning. 50/50 raffle Fri & Sat.
Kids Events, Vintage Fat Tire Bicycle Contest, Longest Hair Contest, Tattoo Contest, Slow Drag Contest, Corn hole Competition and Chili Cook-off. Sunday morning about 10am we pick the winning raffle ticket and some lucky winner will drive off in a restored 1962 VW Panel Bus!
ABC welcomes every type of VW transporter and all air-cooled VW brothers and sisters. We even let in folks whose engines are in the wrong end and have water in them- if they were built by VW, of course. Compact and vintage trailers are OK as long as your footprint remains about the same as a bus. If you are planning on pitching a tent in front of your bug, reread the part about compact trailers. Space is limited, so we need to keep it to ‘one car, one tent’.
Friday 9am gates open and it’s $30 per VW for the weekend.
Show up Saturday it’s $20 per VW for the weekend.
Friday & Saturday “Walk in’s” are $5 per person.
Sunday “Walk in’s” are $10 per person.
Driving one of the past 23 Raffle Buses? Your weekend entry is FREE!
Donations for kids raffle and general raffle are welcomed.
A volunteer sign-up sheet will be available/circulated. If you have 2 hours to spare, the Arizona Bus Club needs your help. Please sign up.
Sound like fun? You bet it is! We hope to see you there. _________________ 1979 Type-2 Westfalia “Sandy”

There are no good or bad spots in Jerome:lol: All equal! I think the "better spots" are the ones where you're not blocked in. Or maybe blocked in.. so you dont have to drive anyone down the hill for more ice or beer! _________________ 1956 L31

We had a great time! You guys did a great job cleaning up the space and making the event larger. The new road/camping set up seemed to work great and everyone I met was having fun. Once again you guys did a great job, we all thank you! Can't wait for next year.
