We like either Penticton or Kelowna ourselves. I would prefer it not be on a long weekend as the traffic is worse than usual... If we are booking Kelowna or Penticton we will have to do it soon...
For us, Revelstoke and 3 Valley Gap have really no amenities that we might be looking for in an overnight.
Other than PurAngl who would be against meeting a week later Aug 9th weekend?
The hotels would be much easier to book then and there would be no holiday traffic issues.
I'm good for the August 9th weekend.

I would be definitely in for a trip up to the Okanagan. Say Kelowa. Bed and Breakfast great if there was a group involved. August 2nd or 3rd would work just fine for me. I don't know how others are for this date. But yes, definitely interested.

I hope someone or a group can help organize an event. Would Revelstoke be a good location or is it too far? Many people have expressed ideas about a winery tour into the Okanagan, would september be best for that? Myabe A weekender sorta deal, drive up stay one night then back on the sunday?
Also, Maria + Gian were pretty keen last time I talked to about a cruise to their cabin near Hope for a summer BBQ (maybe August?). If anyone has specific weekends they prefer or want to help organize it please chip in with your $0.02
P.S. we need a role call for all interested BC/AB solstices, so please let us know by replying below if you are active on the forum and interested in a large group meet.

WOW.... you are saying you are giving up the FORMULA Drift at Evergreen Speedway!!! And Rhys Millen... and a fun filled day of Drifting EXCITEMENT????
Brian... you were there last year. The DRIFT is not something to be missed. Sorry you feel that way unless you just forgot why I said I wouldn't go to Canada on Aug 9th.
Sorry Lori, the formula drift was interesting last year, but I'm more of a race fan than drift fan and I dunno if I would go again. Too many young-ish drift fans trash talked our cars at that event and it kinda turned me off especially since these twits likely didn't even know how to use a stick shift let alone spell "clutch" or "torque" and here they were talking smack about Rhys and the Solstice GXP drift car!
But if Aug 9th works for this okanagan meet then we might just have to go with it. Sorry about the conflicting events Lori.

Sorry Lori, but I'd be in for Aug 9th. Currently my man can't make the Aug 2nd weekend.
The drifting was amazing, but I'm getting discouraged at planning lodging on a long weekend for this trip.
Aug 9th it is???

I'm leaning towards kelowna now, but I don't want to spend a fortune for one nights accomodation. The covelakeside is available on the 9th, but it is also $500+ for that night!
Anyone got ideas for the hotel? Or can someone help swing a deal to fix a rate for us?
