We are absolutely honored to be nominated for 2026 Van Club of the Year! This is a new award at the East Coast Vanner Nationals that will be presented alongside their existing Vanner and Van of the Year awards. Howard Furtak nominated us and we are humbled!
If you can do us all a favor, so we make the ballot, please use the link below (also in the comments) before Sept 10th end of day, to go to the public post in the Dropjaw Vans group. Find Howard's comment where he nominated No Witnesses VC (it's near the beginning if you sort by "all comments"). Please "like" the comment to secure our club's name on the ballot! You can also leave your own comment.
Our club has worked on promoting our Van Nights, which are van-only cruise nights 3 or 4 times over the season that are FREE and open to the public (next date is Sept 19th) in the Chicagoland area. A big part of our mission is to do something different in order to bring new vanners into the fold, since you kind of have to be "in the know" and have a van to go to the truck-ins -- but van owners don't necessarily know about these events. They ARE bringing them to our Van Nights though, and we have slowly been converting van owners into vanners, and spectators into van enthusiasts, and so on. Little by little, it's working! Our event also serves to fill gaps in between truck-ins where vanners can catch up and socialize outside of truck-ins, without a whole weekend commitment. Our club provides dash plaques, event stickers, goody bags, and even a free drink at our brewery venue!
If we make the ballot, we'll be hitting you up for an official vote once that time comes. We appreciate your support! 🙌😎
