Event Coverage 3rd annual Alberta H.A.M.B get together!

Well would ya look at that, another year has passed and pretty quick here we'll be heading back into the dreaded winter months.

Know what that means? It's nearly time for our yearly Alberta H.A.M.B members meet n' eat!

Now, as always we have a couple weekends we would like to aim for and once we get a solid idea of what weekend works for the most people I'll call up the owner of the Diner here in Red Deer and make sure we are good-to-go. Dig?

There is no requirment or restrictions for who can attend. Don't have your rod or custom on the road? No problem, just come as you are and have lunch with us like-minded individuals. Bring the wife and kids!

Please use the poll above to answer what day works for ya'll and lets get a good turnout this year! The first year was great, second was a lot of fun but lacked on the turnout side of things.

Here's some threads from our previous years:

17th-18th works best for me but I can swing the 24th or 25th as well.

 

Up for the mornin' crew

 

Outstanding! Thanks for organizing this, Graham!

I voted Sept. 24th (and subsequently split the vote, lol) but only because of the Radium show being on the 17th, which may affect attendance. However, in the event of a conflict between those two, the get-together will take priority for me.

So in reality, any of the other dates would work, and the tentative dates are already marked on my calendar!

 

It's also Southern Albertas biggest show and shine in High River on the 25th.

 

Good to know Bob,

seems like we'll have lots of competition but it can't be helped.

 

It appears that the two weekends chosen have the least number of competing events though, judging from the NW Cruise Calendar. Unfortunately they're big ones!

Anyone heading south from the Edmonton area could (in theory at least) stop in at the Diner on the way to High River, so maybe having those two events on the same weekend wouldn't be a dealbreaker.

I'd be up for both, but I'll be in an O/T vehicle and wouldn't be entering the High River show, just attending. So my experience will be different from those members interested in taking their rods to both events.

 

Just give me a burger...

Peter

 

I'll tell my friends. Both of them.

 

Well I already know about it, but you better tell that other guy

 

Probably the 25th works best for me, but I'll try to make any day. The 24th is my daughter's birthday, but maybe she wants a burger!

Anyone ever given a burger as a first wedding anniversary gift? That's on the 18th.

 

Let me know the date and I'll get some ads on kijiji etc.
George

 

I voted for the 25th but that's just me giving myself another week in the near impossible goal of gettin my ride on the road. Anyday is good for me though.

 

Bump.

Where is everyone?

 

I have planned on going to High River on the 25th.
17th-18th is better.

 

Just noticed about the High River show. 24th or 17-18 it is. bump.

 

Ok, I'll leave it till the end of the week then I'll make a final choice that hopefully works for the most of us.

 

Well, the traditional first anniversary gift is paper, so if you throw in a napkin you're good! Or a milkshake to go, in a paper cup.

Bump.

 

THIS year, I'm coming. Any of the dates work for me, but I have a better chance of being able to bring a running old car on the 24-25th weekend. Keeping in mind the High River dealie, I'll vote the 24th.

 

Looking forward to it! Hopefully the new engine in the roadster holds it's guts in this time.

Oh and I just want a hamburger! Don't care what day as long as the weather is nice!

I heard Graham was buying for everyone....

 

I don't know why but I'm sure you owe me money, you can buy.

 

I will be there in the T-bird again as I have done nothing on the Ranchero or the A.

 

Old time cars are a treat, i'll try to make it out this year. 3rd times a charm...............

 

....old cars are unreliable and you guys are killing the environment...

 

I'll believe it when I see it...

 

The Speedster and i will be there if its on 24th or 25th, The 17th weekend ill be on my HoneyMoon in radium ohh is there a car show in Radium that weekend....oh i didnt know

 

Shiiiiit. What's the date on this? I'm out of town from the 22-26th.?

Peter

 

I would like to check this out as I probably know none of you people. As far as dates go, I'll be in High River for that show. I'll keep an eye on this thread and I'll post if i can stop by.

Thanks

 

Congrats!

 

Seems like the 24th is the prefered date by most everyone... should I book the 24th and hope for the best?

Peter, if you keep missing these things you'll find yourself of the very exclusive club of "Those peoples who's names I actually remember at the swap meets" haha
