Great early season cruise and non judged show.

Start in Calgary, Alberta at Deerfoot Mall (just off Deerfoot Trail [Hwy 2] in the north end of the city.



The two groups meet in Red Deer, Alberta (1/2 way) and continue to Sylvan Lake for the show.

Last year had a long hauler from Texas.

This is Alberta's premire show and this is the 21st year.

Christine, just because we have a couple of chilly (-40 deg) days doesn't mean the weather here is all bad. It just makes us appreciate the summer all that much more. We are usually good for 90 Deg F for a good part of the summer. :lol:

Besides you can't go skiing with no snow!

A couple of reasons that there is wholes in your logic.

1. Your national anthem starts with a question, Oh, Canada?
2. Yours School systems don't have snow days, they have Sunshine days.
3. If Winters are so wonderful why do we see a tremendous amount of Canadian License Plates go north in another month... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :D :lol:

Actually it's lost in translation, Oh Canada was written by a French guy.

Not true, but it is certanly better than hurricane days.
