Thanks Derek,
The registrations are coming in and so far we're half way to the numbers we had at last years show. Last year we had 75 cars, not huge for a car show but big for us. This year should be a good one as we have a ton of awards and the first in a series of five of the mini artwork. Hope you guys have a successful show as well.

Usually the Edmonton caravan stops at Smitty's or Glenn's for breakfast around 9:30 am. I won't be leaving with the caravan at 8 am. I'll leave at 6 am with another guy in a 71 W30 to get there at 8 so we can start setting up.
Most cars start arriving at 10:30 am. We had 50 cars registered last year 3 days before the show and 25 signed up at the gate the day of the show which is consistant with other years. Right now we have 53 cars signed up with a month to go. So, we're in good shape, especially since most people coming to the show drive over 120 miles one way. People are coming from AB., B.C., and SK. so far. Make sure you look me up when you arrive.
