This year we are introducing an arena for vehicle and special exhibit display much like our brethren in Albion do! We are looking for a knowledgeable and bilingual announcer to tell the public whats going on in the arena, any budding Lorne Green's out there?

As in the past the organisers are donating a keg of "foam" for the Saturday night moon howl and breakfast as well as lunch will be provided to exhibitors. Camping is available and encouraged!

Hope to see you there!
