Hmmmm I just experienced a bit of this myself. Sunday (Father's Day) was "day of the Beetle" in San Antonio. I went, hoping to see Beetles from all years and even considered putting mine in the show. When I got there, not one, not ONE new Beetle around - not on display and not even in the spectator parking lot. I immediately felt a little awkward. I did NOT enter my NB in the show - just parked as a spectator to see all the cars. It was a fun show to attend but definitely an "aircooled" event.
