And for the record... this is NOT my show... just researched it trying to
find more info on whats going on.
Very poor taste in my opinion having a show on the same day in the same
small town. Most new shows get chastised for having a show pop up the same
weekend as another established show that may be 300 miles away let alone in
the same town.
yikes.

Yep, I looked at some of the photos on the Foul Air FB page and did a
little research on what is going on. Just my opinion: but the concept
stinks; and the title FOUL really seems to apply to your concept and most
of the cars shown.

Here's more info... Calling it an "Overflow Show"
http://www.eurekaspringscarshow.com/
https://www.facebook.com/events/483613608503165/
"This alternative is for two main reasons, and is in no way considered or
meant to be a competition to the Eureka Springs VW Show.
The reasons are:
1) - There is just not enough room for all the enthusiasts who come to the
lovely town of Eureka Springs.
2) - The town needs the revenue and treats every visitor so well. It's a
shame that so many people no longer come to this town because of the lack
of show space.
While we embrace that competitive car shows are necessary, our venue and
atmosphere is so much different. We are working together with the long
running show to encourage the high caliber of Volkswagens that enters to
continue to do so. Our show is more for daily drivers, campers, rat rods,
or more simply, not for trophy hoarders or trailer queens. Your car doesn't
have to have shiny paint or mirrors under the chassis to have fun at this
show! Our show welcomes air and watercooled Volkswagens, as well as other
makes of German cars. "
interesting.

I haven't seen the flyer but you're saying that Foul Air is hosting a VW
show in the SAME town on the SAME day in the SAME town of Eureka? whoa...
can you post a photo of the flyer... very curious now...
Are they helping sponsor the Eureka Springs show, maybe they're
advertising the Eureka show to help spread the word I dont know.
looked at their FB page and website, , dont see any events listed...

What's the deal going on in Eureka. Got a flyer dropped in my panel van
at Dub Splash that indicates a show sponsored by Foul Air VW Klub that
appears to be competing with the normal Eureka show. That's nasty. In all
my days of VW shows, and that's a lot; have never heard of a club putting
on a show in direct competition with another.
The flyer indicates a cookout Friday night at Pig Trial Harley-Davidson,
show on Saturday with parade to follow with awards to be given out Sunday
morning. How are they going to have two parades at the same time in Eureka.
I would like someone to explain what the hell is happening. If it is what
it appears I would strongly suggest a boycott of everything associated with
Foul Air.
