MOO Canada holds an offical MOO Picnic in Ottawa every year. While this is ideal because the majority of the users on the MOO live in or around Ottawa, there is a significant population of MOOers in Western Canada that can't afford to fly all the way to Ontario.
This is why the decision was made to hold a MOO-Meet a little closer to home for the MOOers in Western Canada. Edmonton, Alberta was the selected site for the first event.
The picnic thing has been done, so a Barbeque was event of choice. Everything was organized and funded by Raptor.
1999 - The first Barbeque was a little shakey, but it was a success!
2000 - Unfortunately, there won't be a BBQ this year. Not unless someone wants to loan me their backyard.
