Group Canuck West Extravaganza
Recently several stalwart members of Group Canuck plus other loyal Corvair owners in
the Edmonton, AB area got together for (what else?) Corvairs, fellowship, and great food.
Bording Ostergaard and Monica Craig were our delightful hosts. Bording hopes to provide a
more complete account of the festivities, which occurred 19-20 May, 1999.
The pictures below are from the barbeque at Bording and Monica's on Saturday evening,
followed by a trip to a local cruise-in location.

Many people stopped by the Corvairs and were suitably impressed! |
In attendance but missing from the photos:

| Wade and Cindy Halpin, '68 Monza coupe |
| Kent Sullivan, ragtag collection of misfits and projects |
On Sunday, we repaired to Bording's ancestral home :-) in Ponoka, AB, to inspect his
amazing collection of parts cars, parts, and Corvair project cars. I unfortunately ran out
of film early that day so I don't have much of interest to show. Les
Honke has some photos online though of a previous pilgrimmage he made to "the farm", as it is more-popularly known.
