I'm actually not sure, but its probably similar to other years.  Maybe 20-25 machines and 150-200 people for supper.

Oh ya, we are for sure going to put one back in.  We just ran out of time before the rally.  We're going to relocate the hatch to the front, where it should be right after the rally.

Ted Playford has advised us that the Peterson Lake trip by bombardier is canceled due to a road being fairly impassible with the current unseasonable weather conditions and the activity on the road making it a mud bog. 

So to make up for it there will be some sort of fishing event/gathering on Athapap on Sunday.  I don't have a lot of details about it, but Ted will let everybody know at the supper on Saturday, so bring your fishing gear!

it was an awesome time some great bombardiers,an even greater people!!..it was nice to meet some new faces and get reaquainted with some old friends like the cranman and his son Rick...to anyone who has never been all I can say is that the Cranberry crew put on a great rally...excellant meal.lot's of terrific door prizes.Dan Shaver had donated bomardier parts(EVEN A SET OF 4PLY TRACK BELTS)..which I did'nt win..lol......though I did manage to win a beautiful knife&case made by Sid McKay of opasquia custom knives..like I said there was many many door prizes to be won...the Norweigian's were an a interesting bunch of guy's..they followed right along in the rally driving one of Ted&Mary-Ann Playfords bombardiers....I know OT will be reading this so juz want him to know I had no trouble finding SD and his dad,in there nice shining 52,as we were parked right alongside each other!!

Sounds like the rally was a hit....the pics look great.    I am relatively new to this.   Acquired a narrow gauge 3 years ago and then a wide gauge last year.   Each year I look at the rally information and one of these years, my schedule will permit me to try to attend.   It looks like a lot of fun.  Would enjoy seeing all those vintage bombardiers and the opportunity to chat with all.
