Buzzing... Into A Great Weekend!

The last official 'spring' weekend of 2010 and The Cruiser Team was going to make the most of it before the hot (hopefully) and busy summer!

Saturday began in beautiful Point Grey at the Point Grey Fiesta which was tons of fun! There were an abundance of families there and a great place to promote Family Day on August 8th. Afterwards, we went to the opening of the Queen Mary Community Garden in North Vancouver and it was buzzing... literally, with bees! There were hundreds of bees buzzing around pollenating all of the colourful flowers!

Sunday, The Cruiser Team headed out early in hopes of missing potential rainfall. The day began at the annual Alcan Dragon Boat Festival and the turn out was phenomenal. Thousands of people were there to watch and cheer on their favourite teams! Then the team headed to the MEC Paddlefest and even though the weather wasn't cooperating, it didn't slow down the number of dedicated paddlers that came out the the event. To finish off a great weekend the team headed to the Italian and French Car Display and Motorcycle Show at Waterfront. There were lots of dads out with their kids and lots of photo worthy sports cars!

Strides For Sunshine!

The Community Cruiser Team could not have dreamt for better weather this past weekend! The first weekend that actually felt like summer did not disappoint. Saturday was spent on the beautiful North Shore at the Strides for Strokes, Relay for Life, and the Classic Car and Boat Show. The beach balls and frisbees were in high demand by the multitude of families that attended all the events.

On Sunday the Cruiser team made their way to the Heel 'n' Wheel-a-thon out at Locarno Beach and everyone was basking in the glorious view of the North Shore. Then the Cruiser Team made their way to Philippine Festival at Waterfront park and it was packed with hundreds of enthusiastic festival goers who were tons of fun! Finally, the Cruiser Team capped off the weekend at the Coho Festival, which was at the picturesque Ambleside.

Hats Off To The First Weekend!

The first weekend in for the Cruiser Team and it was a huge success! Unsure what to expect from the weather... and from themselves, the team loaded up the cruiser and made their way to the Annual Hats Off Day in Burnaby Heights and were blown away by all the people, the never ending lineups for food, and all the furry canines that came out as well! Afterwards, the team made their way to West Van Days which had live music, booths, and a ton of entertainment for the kids. To cap off the perfect day the Cruiser Team headed to the Seawall and passed out some water, which was much appreciated by the walkers and joggers.

On Sunday the Cruiser Team headed out to the BC Children's Hospital's ChildRun 2010, and when it was over, made their way to 'Italy Comes to the Drive!', on Commercial Drive. The team saw a lot of the ChildRun participants had made their way to the drive as well, and the beach balls were much appreciated by all!

All in all, a very successful first weekend that set an exciting tone for the whole summer!

The funds will be directed towards the Christmas Bureau and to the Safer Places program.

On hand in early December to receive the cheque from Steve Morrey, President of the Northshore Auto Mall were Janet Sanderson and Diana Cowden of Family Services of the North Shore.

Wrapping Up The Summer

The summer of 2009 has been everything and more for the Northshore Auto Mall Community Cruiser Team. The Cruiser Team has been all over the map, from Squamish to Burnaby and everywhere in between while displaying the Northshore Auto Mall proudly on our chests and heads. Whether it was opening a water bottle for an elderly woman or cheering up a crying baby with a beach ball, we have done it all this summer. If you live on the North Shore or attend events in the surrounding areas on your weekend, you could not have missed the bright yellow Northshore Auto Mall Cruiser and it's team in attendance handing out promotional items to onlookers. The Cruiser Team would like to thank anyone who attended Family Day, or just took a water bottle at one of the events.

Don't forget to check out all of our photos from this great summer on the "Northshore Auto Mall" Facebook page.

Summer Full Of Love

This weekend the Northshore Auto Mall Community Cruiser was back at it again. The weekend included the Summer Of Love Woodstock Anniversary in Kitsilano on 4th ave. People of all ages came out to this event to show off their inner-party animal dancing to the bands and checking out the exhibitors.
The Cruiser Team was also in attendance at the Gastown Motorcycle Show and Shine on Water Street. We mingled with all the bikers and checked out all the Harleys and other freshly cleaned motorcycles.
Fianlly, we finished our weekend at Latin Summer Festival which took place at Trout Lake. The children enjoyed our beachballs and frisbees, while the adults were much more intrigued by the tote bags we were handing out. The Cruiser Team, along with many others, took the time to enjoy some authentic Latin cuisine (tacos) which was absolutely phenomenal!
