Choose day for 2nd Annual Coombs Country Auto Show-and-Tell

[Profister]

Hey Josh, I looked at your heartless Silver Bullet over a week ago and it looked more like a Sleeping Beauty. There is no doubt Glen will bring it back to life!

As with last year the day will be held on the saturday and then if we end up camping again overnight it gives everyone time to return home sunday.
Talking with John we are very keen to hold this event on the August long weekend which will give lots of travel time for everyone to get home after. might even make travel back to the mainland easier on the sunday as the most traffic would be on the monday ?? thanks, Glen

So, if you and John are leaning towards the long weekend, should we even continue with this poll?

This is a customer appreciation day also and we will honor the most popular day on the poll.
As I really don`t have to travel far to the shop, I can be there whenever !!!!

Hey folks - if you have it Aug 1

I'll be down the road at the Coombs Bluegrass festival August long weekend - will stop by and say hi if I can get out of the jamming circles, although I'm not going to vote - most likely get caught up in the camping...we'll see.....maybe see some of you, been awhile, k8 aka Kelly

oh yeah, and thanks Glen again for servicing my van last week, running smooth, feeling good. I'm so thankful I decided to get the air conditioning running this year!!!!!

B U M P !

Uh, didn't Glen say a Sat. rather than Sunday? Poll still reads Sunday...

Can't change a poll setting in mid-poll (function of the BB), but as I mentioned previously, think of it as the-weekend-of. It will be Saturday, whichever one is most popular and works for Glen.

[konadog]

Ahh, thanks. Whatever date is picked I'll be there!

Less than a week remaining in the poll. It's looking like votes are favouring the 3rd weekend in August. Got some good numbers responding this year too - about twice last year's. Should make for a good turnout.

...and this year I'll drive down in my van, not my scooter!

[mararmeisto]

Okay, so the favoured day is the 15th, and after checking with Glen he indicated that he's in discussions with John. Watch Glen's thread for the official announcement.

As an aside, I'll be bringing a fistful of Mitsumaples and Mitsuflags to the gathering, so if you've not got one, bring a couple of bucks. Stickers are 2.50$/each.

Awwww man! i might be on the island during the beginning of the month.
I was hoping for the 2nd...

as a Deli noob, i might get whiplash looking at all the delis...
oh, and i'll bring my own rag to clean up my drool...

BC Ferries has a special rate for travel Tuesday, Weds, Thursday of $39.00 vehicle and driver included, one way, till 3 Sept 09. Good chance to check out the forestry roads near there and camp & 4WD before /after the Show'n'Tell. Cheers, Christine.

[almac]

so. has a date been decided yet?

It is confirmed that the open day will be on the Saturday 15th August. We are still in the middle of organising the schedule and are open to doing or showing anything that people are interested in in . We will have door prizes and event special pricing on both parts and service. There will be a bar-b-q around lunch and refreshments. Also for anyone looking to camp over on the saturday night we do have the large grassed area that can be used. Please be aware that we are not a commercial camp ground and do not have full facilities. BYOB for the evening !!!
Please post any recommendations/suggestions either here or direct e-mail ccautos@telus.net .
Both myself and John look forward to another enjoyable day here at Coombs Country.
