Navagation

    Well I am always thinking up events and trips for the TriCity Bug Club, Here are some I think would be fun! I know it a little short with information, but I will be adding to it as we go. OK.

    Run for the Diamonds

    Two competing attractions -- the Herkimer Diamond Mines and the Ace Of Diamonds Mine -- occupy adjacent lots along the west side of Rt. 28 south of town. The word "mine" here is in the sense of a strip mine or a gravel pit; there are no shafts here, no carts of ore being hauled by burros, although there are a number of grime-faced prospectors who look as if they could use a bath.

    The treasures mined here are "Herkimer diamonds" -- really faceted quartz crystals with points at both ends, and this is supposedly one of the few places in the world where they can be found. For many years they were merely attractive curiosities, but over the last two decades they have also become "metaphysical essentials," according to a guidebook that you can buy at the Herkimer Diamond Mines. "It is thought that the double-terminated points allow for multiple locations for energy to enter and exit from the crystal, resulting in a more powerful energy flow." Some have dubbed the diamonds "dream rocks" and claim that sleeping with a Herkimer in your pillowcase will enhance your dreams; others use them for meditation and healing, which you may need if a pointy dream rock pokes a hole in your scalp.

    VolksVair Fair 7

    Rotterdam Custom Show

    Rotterdam Fire Department has a car show every year, Last year there was only one Bug representing the VW, and it was not the best of the best, allot of rust and poor paint job. This year I would like the whole club to show up and represent the true spirit of VW Bugging.
