Important information from the Bus Doctor family.

We’ve heard from the “Bus Doctor family”, and we have information regarding Andrew’s services. Please read this in its entirety as there is very important information that we all need to know and abide by.

I respectfully and firmly request that you respect Emma’s (and Andrew’s) wishes.

This will be a CELEBRATION of Andrew’s life!

Show up wearing Hawaiian shirts or silly slogan shirts. Shorts/pants/skirts are required. We want to see your best smile and hear your laughter from across the way. Be casual. Be comfortable. Perhaps even a backward baseball hat like we always saw him in. Bring along your favorite Andrew stories, prepare to share and make new friends.

The family requests that any physical photos, mementos and memories be brought along that day so we can gather them together.

Electronic messages and pictures can be sent to [email protected]. This email will remain open indefinitely, so keep them coming. His family welcomes them.

Bring along a comfy folding/camping chair, as we will be there for a while. The venue doesn’t have enough seats for all of us.

Pack food for yourself as there are not food services on site. We are working on getting food trucks, but no guarantees at this time. (We will update as we learn more). You may also have food delivered.

Do NOT bring any outside beverages onto the property. This is Virginia state law. All beverages must be purchased onsite.

If you are going to enjoy adult beverages, please arrange for a designated driver in advance or have a hotel room nearby booked.

Host hotel - Hollywood Casino at Charles Town. We are working on a booking code for preferential pricing. As soon as we have it, complete hotel information, including booking code, will be posted.

Shuttle service will be available courtesy of Quick’s Bus exclusively from Hollywood Casino. It will not be stopping at other hotels, only Hollywood. (Remember a couple bucks for your bus drivers please).

First shuttle will depart at 2:45pm to go to the venue. From there, they will make continual loops between the hotel and vineyard. It’s approximately a 30 minute loop for one vehicle. If need is high enough, we will add a second vehicle to accommodate, and they will run opposite one another to shorten wait times.

The venue CAN NOT accommodate outside Motorcoaches. Feel free to carpool in non-CDL sized vehicles. They’re not equipped for all of our buses and buses will be turned away.

Yes, we will celebrate his love for the motorcoach world at another time when it all works. Promise.

This is an adults only venue. Everyone must be over the age of 21 and have your valid ID with you if you wish to purchase alcohol.

The Celebration of Life for our beloved Bus Doctor, Andrew Wagner, will be held on Thursday, September 24, 2026 at Notaviva Farm Brewery and Winery. 13274 Sagle Road, Purcellville, VA 20132. It begins at 3pm.

***The family specifically does not want the media notified or invited. Please help us to shield their daughters from media by NOT posting any pictures or name mentions that include the girls.***

Please share and cross post to those who you feel would want to attend. Social media and word of mouth is the best way to get the word out.

****If you have questions for me…please ask them in the Facebook group “Motorcoach Operators” OR private message me if you’re not part of that group. I’m trying to keep questions and answers centralized for everyone, and to avoid repeating myself over and over. I cannot guarantee that I’ll see questions elsewhere.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the GoFundMe that has been established for Emma and the girls. It can be found at:

Thank for your outpouring of love and support for Andrew’s family!

Beautiful destinations, history, and great company made for another memorable part of the 2026 TMCA Summer Soirée! 🌿

From exploring the peaceful grounds of Oak Hill Gardens KY to learning more about the legacy of Colonel Harland Sanders at the Harland Sanders Café and Museum, each experience showcased the charm and hospitality of London, Kentucky. Along the way, members had plenty of opportunities to relax, reconnect, share stories, and enjoy time together.

A special thank you to James Murphy with Art Henry Tours for helping coordinate such a memorable experience, along with London Tourism and its outstanding partners for their warm hospitality. We also extend our appreciation to TMCA Board Member Todd Roberts for his support, and to Travel by Olympus for providing transportation throughout the event.

Thank you to Ole Smoky Distillery for supporting our Hospitality Room throughout the Summer Soirée, and a special shoutout to our very own bartender, Johnny Baker, for keeping everyone smiling!

Events like these are only possible because of the dedication and support of our members, partners, and volunteers. We are grateful to everyone who helped make the 2026 TMCA Summer Soirée such a memorable experience.

London, Kentucky sure showed out for the 2026 TMCA Summer Soiree! ✨

We had such a blast kicking off our trip with a visit to the Laurel County Fair, taking in the stunning views at Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, and stepping back in time at the Mountain Life Museum. It was the perfect way to explore, connect, and enjoy everything the area has to offer!

A huge thank you to London Kentucky Tourism and Laurel County for the warm welcome, and to Travel by Olympus for keeping us moving safely. 🚌🎡⛰️

Stay tuned for more photos from the rest of our Sumner Soirée! 📸

We’re proud to share that Tim Burchett [R-TN-2] has agreed to co-sponsor H.R. 2526, the Bus Parity and Clarity Act!

On behalf of the Tennessee Motor Coach Association, we extend our sincere thanks for your continued support of the motorcoach industry and for recognizing the importance of fair, consistent regulations for our operators.

H.R. 2526, cited as the “Bus Parity and Clarity Act,” is designed to bring greater clarity and balance to federal regulations impacting the motorcoach industry, helping ensure that private operators are treated fairly, preserving long-standing charter service protections, and creating a more level playing field across all modes of passenger transportation.

Your leadership helps protect small businesses, support jobs, and ensure motorcoach companies can continue to deliver safe, reliable, and essential transportation services across Tennessee and beyond.

We also want to extend a special thank you to Terrapin Blue for their incredible support during the UMA 2026 Legislative Fly-In. Your professionalism, creativity, and amazing photography skills helped capture the energy and impact of our industry’s advocacy efforts. We truly appreciate all that you do!
