Once you come into Kelowna, directions from the Welcome to Kelowna 
Sign to the Host Hotel are as follows:

Turn right on Abbott St.  It is the first road on the right after you come 
over the floating bridge.  Follow about until it turns into Lakeshore Rd.  
Keep on Lakeshore, it will take you into the mission area.  Pass the Dairy 
Queen on your left, then Gyro Beach is coming up on the right in the next 
minute, you cant miss it!  Gyro Beach Resort is on the left hand side!

Kelowna City Park is right on the left after coming across the floating 
bridge, so from the host hotel, just head back towards the floating bridge 
the same way you got there.  We will meet at Gyro first anyway just in 
case people are lost, and I will hand out maps of Kelowna.  If you arent 
coming from around these areas, please e-mail me, and I will put them up!

HOTEL INFO:

The Guest hotel will be Gyro Beach Resort, right across from Gyro 
Beach.  The rate for a room is $66.25 per night.  Rooms can have a 
maximum of 4 people.  Please book ASAP.  The number to call is 1-250-
762-3227.  I have booked 5 rooms for this event, but I guarantee it will be 
easy to find accomodations.  For those that are really tight on cash, 
please e-mail me and I will let you crash at my place.  You might have to 
bring just a tent and sleeping bag and crash in the back yard.  I can only 
house a couple people, so first come first serve.  Drop me an e-mail.

SCHEDULE:

For now the schedule goes as follows:

Friday:  Those who come in on Friday and want to jam, call me when you 
get in at 764-8475.  
Saturday:  12:30pm to 5:30pm at Kelowna City Park.  We will be having 
fun Marathon Minutes timed seshions at 2:30pm, then 45 sec shred.  
Scores from both days are averaged.  Depending on the weather, we will 
meet there no matter what, and I will give directions on how to get to the 
other venue.
Sunday:  12:30pm to 5:30pm at Kelowna City Park.  Same as above 
dependng on the weather.  Top average shred score wins hopefully a 
nice trophy!!  Im working on it!

I am working on prizes anyway for top freestylers!   Im also working on a 
way so that everyone gets something!  If anyone has any ideas or could 
help with prizes please contact me!  If anyone can set up a booth that 
would be AWESOME.
