June 14, 2014 - 5th Annual "Alberta" Camaro Cruise

[68 RS]

The 5th Annual “Alberta” Cruise will be held on June 14, 2014.

Edmonton Camaros will be meeting at Gateway Park https://maps.google.ca/maps?q=edmont...berta&t=h&z=20 just south of Edmonton on the QE II (Highway 2) at 8:00AM, leaving Edmonton 8:30AM.

Calgary Camaros will be meeting at the Davenport, 1530 Aviation Rd NE Calgary, www.davenportmotorsports.com, at 7:30AM, leaving Calgary at 8:30AM.

All Camaros will be meeting in Red Deer at the Costco/Staples parking lot - 162, 37400 Hwy 2 - 10:00AM - 10:30AM. We will be leaving Red Deer at 10:45AM and driving to Rocky Mountain House, which is about an hour away.

The Chevrolet dealership in Rocky Mountain House, Edwards Chevrolet, www.edwardsgarage.com, will once again be offering beef on a bun for our group at no charge or possibly a small donation to a charity, we are still working out the details. They will have some door prizes and will use the event to promote the Camaro and their dealership. We will be departing from Rocky Mountain House at 1:30PM(Sharp).

Rocky Mountain House to Saskatchewan Crossing is about 190km, with three stops at Abraham Lake for photos, the Park gates and Saskatchewan Crossing to stretch your legs. Each stop will be approx. 20 - 30 minutes, this will keep us all together. For those heading north from Saskatchewan Crossing, Jasper is about 155km, with some great stops like the Columbia Ice Fields along the way. For the majority of us that are heading south, Banff is about 135km, with a stop at Lake Louise.

For those headed to Jasper:

We do not have a designated hotel, last year we used the Marmot Lodge, 86 Connaught Drive, Jasper, AB, which proved to be adequate. www.mpljasper.com/hotels/marmot_lodge/

For those headed to Banff:

We have once again been able to arrange “Preferred Rates” at the Douglas Fir Resort & Chalet, 525 Tunnel Mountain Rd, www.douglasfir.com. There is no date in which you have to book before to get the special rate, however, all rooms are based on availability, so book early to avoid disappointment. You can start booking anytime, directly with the hotel at either (403) 762-5591 or 1-800-661-9267, Reference #ABCC14. The following prices are for June 14th, 2014:

Sunday - June 15, 2014 - Father's Day – We have booked a private room at the Coast Canmore Hotel & Conference Centre(formerly the Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre) in Canmore, AB from 10:30am - noon, as we did in 2012.

I’ve gone through the posts under the 5th Annual Alberta Camaro Cruise Discussion Thread and these are the people that have said they are coming on June 14th, along with the city they said or we think they are departing from.

I also need to start a head count for the Edwards Garage Rocky Mountain House BBQ and Chili’s Restaurant in Banff. Please post or send us a PM so that we can try to keep an accurate headcount for both. This will help Edwards Garage better plan for the BBQ and also enable us to have Chili’s prepare for our large group. We would also like to track the number of people for the Brunch on Sunday in Canmore.

Therefore you should see your name with 3 numbers beside it, ie: 68 RS 4 4 4.

Please check your information. If you are not on the list or I have missed your confirmation or I am missing your numbers, please let me know. I would like to be able to give accurate numbers to Edwards Garage, Chili’s and the Radisson hotel & Conference Centre. If you see ? ? ? beside your name, that means we need your numbers.

I will also need someone to send out PM’s, as I do not want anyone to be disappointed. I will also be sending the Douglas Fir Resort & Chalet, Edwards Garage and Davenport’s a link to this thread. Also if someone can get this out on FaceBook to the “F” Body clubs, that would be great!

Not sure if me and kray will make this one as it is a major inconvenience that this is on Father's Day weekend as I'm sure it is for several others that have small children and or elderly parents that they want to spend the special day / weekend with( kinda hard to fit entire family in a camaro haha) ?maybe next year we can all vote on a date or have a few different weekends to choose from that works best for the majority?Hope everybody has a great time . Will be organizing a spring day trip cruise as soon as possible depending on weather
