11 days and counting. I haven't heard the radio bit yet but it will be on randomly as one the stations' community event spots.
There are a couple of other people who have said they'll be coming but haven't put their name on the list so I think we're up to 6 or 7.
Let's see if we can get into double digits this year!!Ian

One week to go! I heard the radio spot and it sounded pretty good. I'm not sure how often it's going to run but maybe it will create some interest. The meet is also listed in the upcoming events columns in the Calgary Herald and Calgary Sun.
There's a couple of other folks who have said that they're coming too. The weather forecast looks great: 27°C (81°F) and sunny.
If any of you from the Calgary area want to meet in the city, say at the Petro Can station across from C.O.P., we could drive up to Wedge Pond together.Ian

I posted the event on the local Kijiji site (http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-community...AdIdZ141448040) and got this funny reply:
"You don't have a girl friend do you. Come on Festivas and ice cream!"
I've thought of several replies I could send but it's not worth the effort
At least the guy was interested enough to read to whole post!

If anyone that's coming to Westiva is looking for parts let us know. I've got a few bits and pieces like headlights, mirrors, door pockets etc that I could bring with me. So if you have a wish list post it in here and hopefully we can help one another a bit.Ian

Man, I'd love to come, but I'm moving into my girlfriend's place at the end of the month, not to mention I broke a valve cover bolt in the head and have been trying to get it out for a while now. That's two I've missed so far.
