What can we say about our three days at the truck show Expocam? We appreciated to meet with you drivers and make our event known to start the first of a series of convoys here in Quebec. This made it up for the sore legs and backs to be able to have this meeting marathon. The main event of the show for us was the visit of Melissa and Eddy.
Melissa is an interior hockey player for Special Olympics and Eddy is a swimmer on the Special Olympics team. Their visit was hearth warming. They greatly appreciate the effort we are putting in with the convoy. This will help them to participate to the next games and exceed themselves in sports they like to practice.
Quebec City will be the host of the winter Special Olympics for Canada in 2008, which will be part of the 400th anniversary celebrations of the city’s foundation.
Those that picked up some registration forms and other information at our booth, you only have to fill them up and return the paperwork so you can be assured of your place in the convoy. Don’t forget page 3! The one that will get the most private sponsors will get the lead truck position!
Come back often to visit this blog. All the latest news and information will be posted as soon as possible. This event will become a date that many will mark for years to come.
