Get The Cruisers To The Greek!

Have you ever wondered what a blues scale was? The Cruiser Team was lucky enough to learn all about that this weekend at International Jazz Festival. The Cruiser Team got there early and there were already tons of people groovin' away in anticipation for a melodic and harmonious ten days. Next, it was off to Summerfest at Waterfront where the families were out in full force enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful scenery!

The next day nothing was going to stop The Cruiser Team from attending Greek Day... not even a little rainfall could discourage the enthusiastic Greek Day participants. Everywhere you looked there was pita, souvlaki, tzatziki...you name it, they had it! Everyone was in high spirits regardless of the continual descent of water droplets from the sky. To cap off a fantastic weekend, the Cruiser Team went to the German Car Show at Waterfront. BMW's galore, we even saw some of our Park Shore BMW friends there too!

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!
