          Less that a week to go!!! I know I've posted this clip before but here goes... the opening scenes of the movie John Q were filmed on Highway 40 on the stretch between the Trans Canada Highway and the Wedge Pond turnoff...

            Looks to be a promising day! Probably way too hot, lol. But Last year it rained so hot is better.

              ONE MORE SLEEP!!!!!!! Ben, Bob and Jimmy are all over the border and on their way to their respective overnight accommodations! Weather forecast is still looking good with a high of over 30°C.

                I would have to say that this year's edition of Westiva was the best one yet. Even with two last minute cancellations we still had seven very different Festivas and one Suzuki Swift convertible representing three states and two provinces. The weather was perfect starting out relatively cool in the morning and warming up quite nicely to about 30ºC/86ºF in the afternoon. I can't remember when we've had more curious onlookers stop by to ask questions and generally show interest. I'll be working on a post in the photo section shortly along with a blog post. Here's a couple of teaser photos for you to start with....





                A huge thank you to Ben (KY), Jimmy (GA) and Bob (WA) for making the trip up to join us. Thanks also to Joe (SK) for bring the sharkmouth Festiva.

                The tentative date for the next Westiva is July 14, 2018.... will you be there?

                        And updated! By me, with a bit of writing about how things went for us and our kids. Anyone else who came should add photos as well
