Hello to all,

When you look back at the end of your days, what will you say about the summer
of 2009? Will it be that you survived the panic of the Swine Flu? Will it be
that the economic forecast still had you bummed? Will it be that, once again,
the summer flew by in a blur and one day was just like the one before? How can
these summer doldrums be avoided? Do what we plan to do. CELEBRATE!!!

In honor of 2009 being the tenth anniversary of Northwest MogFest, we are going
to host "The Ten Days of MogFest" (and will have song with lyrics to match).
That is right! You read correctly! TEN DAYS!!! Starting Friday, August 14th and
running through Sunday, August 23rd, we are going to be pulling out all the
stops to make this year's NWMF celebration the biggest and best ever. In years
past, we would run a four day gathering on the third weekend in August. That was
all well and good but there is only so much fun one can cram into ninety-six
hours. With new activities being added each year, it just made sense to expand
the number of days..

For those traditionalists, the final four days, the 20th-23rd, will be packed
solid with action and mischief. If you could only make one day this year, the
biggest/busiest day will be Saturday, August 22nd. For those wanting to arrive
earlier than the 20th, mixed in with the fun will be some labor as well.
Remember, NWMF has always been and shall remain, a labor of love. The Good Karma
points you earn by helping out will be repaid many times over in the future. The
last four days of the event will be the most structured ones with the first six
having far more flexibility and "hanging-out". As long as the tech equipment
holds out, the Waldersee Film Festival will run all ten nights with some of the
most obscure and bizarre films ever seen. Ethnic food nights, pot lucks, a chili
cook-off, impromptu trail rides into the Trask are just a smattering of the type
of activities that will start on Day 1 and run all ten days

For those who either own or just have an interest in vehicles of European
ancestry that are not phased by changing terrain, this August will present an
unrivalled opportunity to feast and frolic in the friendly festivities that have
become Northwest MogFest. Unimogs, Pinzgauers (4x4 and 6x6), Haflingers, VW
Syncros, Volvo C-series (4x4 and 6x6), Land Rovers, Range Rovers, French Lohr,
Russian Dnepr and Urals, VW Iltis, Swedish Hagglunds, MB G-wagens, VW Typ 181,
Hanomag, MB busses, Sprinter Vans and VW Westfalias have been part of our
history thus far. Honorary "Euro-Passes" have been awarded to the likes of a
Hummer, a US Army Mule, a Mighty Mite, 2WD Rokons, Westcoaster Mailster and a
select few domestic and Japanese vehicles on rare occasion. While we can only
guess who and what will be here this go 'round, be confident that the spectrum
of both people and vehicles will be broad to say the least. A Tatra? An original
VW Typ 82 Kubelwagen and/or Typ 166 Schwimmwagen? A Yugo tractor? Lada Nivas?
Coots? We will all have to wait and see. Ultimately, it will be up to each of
you to decide: do I participate.or watch from the distance? We hope many of you
will choose to join in as we celebrate our tenth anniversary. Keep your eyes on
the NWMF website http://www.northwestmogfest.com
for details. There will be additional announcements coming over the next six
weeks. One early request is to bring any old license plates you would like
immortalized on our shop. License plates are going to play a big role this year.

Take care.

Your NWMF hosts and henchpersons
