The MINI Club of Calgary is pleased to host the Great Pumpkin run, and visiti a real pumpkin patch. MINIs and Mini's from anywhere (Alberta, BC, Sask., US) are welcome to join us. We expect some media coverage also.
When: Saturday, October 4, 2008
Where: "The Jungle Farm", Innisfail, Alberta
Meet:
In Calgary: Deerfoot Mall (64th Ave & Deerfoot Trail)
Meet next to Sears at 9:00 am, leave at 10:00 am
In Edmonton: Gateway Park Visitor Information Center

Meet at 9:00 am, leave at 10:00 am
Both groups will meet in Red Deer (Gasoline Alley, location TBD) then head out to Innisfail as one group.
There will be plenty of activities and prizes all day, we hope to get a photo of 50+ MINIs for next year's 50th Anniversary of Mini, so please come out and join us. For further details, please see www.minicalgary.com
Cost: $5 per person (children under 2 are free) to cover the admission.
Bring a lunch, or get Beef on a Bun, Hamburgers, Smokies, and cold Drinks at the Farm. Come join us for a great day, and bring back some pumpkins for Halloween and Thanksgiving. In addition we would like to get out 50 Mini's to commemorate the 50th Anniversary for Mini next year. Help us obtain that goal!
There will also be:
A Corn Maze
A Bail Maze
A Trike Track
Pumpkin Chucking
If you are wishing to join us from locales not called Calgary or Edmonton, the two groups will meet in Red Deer at the Husky/Smitty's parking lot on the west side of Hwy 2 at Gasoline Alley at around 12 pm. We will leave at ~12:15.
The momentum is growing, and we are approaching the goal of 50 Minis. My count though at this point is we are still short of the goal, so tell your friends.
The forecast is still calling for nice weather with partly cloudy skies in the Innisfail area on Saturday, so it should make for good photos and alot of fun rummaging around the patch for the perfect pumpkin.
Anybody else is joining me and mansize on the drive to the farm ?
