Alberta Free-mo 2008

Big Valley, Alberta, Canada
August 16-17, 2008

2007 was the year of the record layout, and 2008 was just a little shy, but a grand layout nonetheless!

Over the course of the Thursday night and Friday, we arranged 37 modules, hooked them all up and levelled the entire thing for some great running over the course of the remainder of the weekend. And this year we brought Loconet Repeaters which performed as advertised and gave us a layout which required far less troubleshooting than in years past!

A Bring-Your-Own-Meat Barbeque and pot-luck was arranged for the Saturday evening and enjoyed by all. It was also declared that we will be keeping the same weekend for next year's show. Save the weekend of the 15th and 16th of August 2009 for attending the 6th annual Alberta Free-mo setup!
