Event Report
We had a great variety of electric vehicles on display for our third show at the Oshtemo branch of the Kalamazoo Public Library system. Apparently, getting a blurb into the library's quarterly newsletter helped bring out a decent number of folks, despite the rather dreary weather. We had pretty good traffic for the full four hours of the event. A major draw was the presence of Karl Bloss' new VW ID.Buzz in red and white. We want to thank the library staff for their help, especially Ben Brown, and all the chapter members who helped set up, tear down, and brought snacks!
