BC 7s--Sevenfest 2011

[sevenron]

This is a special invitation to all US 7s within driving distance of Vancouver, BC

 

Sevenfest 2011 is being held on Saturday, July 9th and you're invited.

 

See the write-up in the "Canada" section.

 

For those of you who think Vancouver's too far away, last summer we had a 7 from Alberta, the equivalent of driving from Northern CA, and one from Kelowna, the equivalent of driving from Portland. The Kelowna 7 made the return trip the same day. So just because there's that border there, don't let it stop you for coming up and enjoying some Canadian hospitality.

Hi Ron, this is the 7 from Alberta, cant join you this year. We are making the trip down to South Dakota to take part in the Black Hills Bighorn gathering. I know your gathering will be a great success, it certainly was last year. We will be at the Vancouver get together next year. Cheers. Steve

Sevenfest 2011

 

 

 

Open to Sevens of all types

 

 

 

All other types of Lotus become honorary Sevens for the day and are welcome

 

 

 

Reminder: if you haven’t already let me know if you’re attending email me at: ronpayne7 at gmail dot com

 

Update: I have obtained, at great personal expense, the recipe for the PNEs world famous caramelized fried onions. This was obtained by much personal groveling. The gourmet hotdogs will be accompanied by generous portions of carmalized onions, but only to those who let me know ahead of time that they’re attending. :

 

A writer from Kitcar magazine is attending. Anyone having 7 related items that they want to sell can bring them, I’ll set up a table if needed. Local newspapers will be contacted. If you have a card for your windshield that gives some basic details of the type of 7 it is, bring it.

 

Pray for sunshine

 

 

 

When: July 9th, 2011

 

Where: 2298 Chapman Way,

North Van., BC

 

Time: Nominally the start time is 11:00 am but if you show up early that’s OK

The first two hours are “meet and greet”, have a hot dog etc., and have a little “show n’ shine” for the public. No charge for the lunch. Bring other munchies if you like.

 

The drive starts at 1:00 pm. It’s a scenic route with a couple of photo ops. I was considering naming the drive part “Under the Volcano” Anyone figuring out why gets the first hot dog. A fun part will be visiting beautiful downtown Deep Cove, our own version of Carmel-by-the-Sea. One road in to a round about and then out the same road. The street is lined with sidewalk cafes and tourists. Should be lots of smiling, waving and photos. We then head up Mt. Seymour to the lookout for a final photo op.
