Hopefully you can make it out for the Winnipeg Folk Festival this summer.

It's a huge festival of music, food, sunshine  and fun. Lots of camping, day
and night events etc.

Last year we had quite a few Westie owners out - and we all became friends.
Thereafter - we have met at other VW events.

It's about 8 hours from the Twin Cities, and our currency is so low - it
will be a cheap trip.

Lots and Lots of girls at the WFF, Ryan! You'l have a great time!

Hope to see you, and other listees there! (We're also planning some Westy
technical seminars too - if there's sufficient interest)
