***FREE*** Virginia/SCNA - SAAB Meet & Greet Fall Event
On Sunday, August 2, 2026(10:00 AM - 3:00 PM) we will be having our 2st Annual FREE Virginia/SCNA - SAAB Meet & Greet Fall Event at the magnificent 751 acre private Blue Ridge School campus, which is nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains and encompassed by breathtaking 360º mountain views. Located in St. George(Dyke), VA, the grounds are simply awe-inspiring with; a serene lake, several ponds and glistening streams, a gun range, fishing, tennis and basketball courts and 15 miles of scenic biking and hiking trails. Rich in history, many of the buildings were designed by the prolific architect, Ralph Adams Cram and 2 of the campus' structures have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Once again, we could not have this FREE event without the help of our sponsors; The SAAB Club of North America, NINES, Saabnet, Saabtech, Swedish Performance, Krona Performance, International Imports, European Cars of Williamsburg, Virginia SAABs, SAABklubbenVA, SAAB Parts Connection and The Virginia SAAB Driving Club. Par-for-the-course, there will be a limited amount of SAAB swag on hand to purchase the day of the event, so place your orders early.
We will once again have our time-honored formal program, which will take place in the 22,000 sf Indoor Field House, at the host site, featuring a renowned SAAB historian guest speaker and we will also have several SAAB Master Techs on hand to answer any of your SAAB related mechanical questions.
We are pleased to announce that this year we are adding several new and exciting SAAB Experiences;
- We will be having a SAAB Car Show with 3 available classes to enter: (1) Performance/Modified, (2) Original/Stock and (3) People's Choice. 1st Place Winners in each category will be awarded a commemorative event trophy. Each attendee will be sent an electronic ballot, via their smartphone, to place their vote in each category.

This build has not been seen anywhere and all of our attendees and guest will be treated to this very momentous unveiling --- LIVE!!! Not just a track beast, this SAAB is touted as being an aesthetical masterpiece complete with a set of amazing shoes and eye-catching LED resto-updates.

For those captivated by 16th - century Gothic Revival architecture, no need to travel to England ---- this building checks all of the boxes; rustic stone, decorative patterns, drip mould, gable roof and fieldstone. After dinner the VIPs will be treated to a Tour, which will include a peek into the office of our weekend host, who made this venue available to us. Beyond the beautiful architecture and interesting furnishings, this office also houses some very rare and sought-after SAAB memorabilia that has been collected from all over the world.
