Hey all! I just got back from St. Louis from our Convention 2004 planning meeting!! It is going to be soooo fun! San Antonio looks fabulous :) I hope you'll all be coming, even though it's a year away!!

I'll be there! (but probably NOT with my cowboy boots on) :p

I want to go! I have been an MDA for 3 years now, and the DLC is the closest thing to a convention I have been to...so I am looking forward to San Antonio.

I've actually been to San Antonio a few times and it is gorgeous...but as my skin is very very very pasty pale, I burn EVERY time I go there.

At least I know what I am in for. ;)

When is covention?? I hope to go, but it depends on work, money etc. I had a lot of fun last year :).

I forget the exact dates (god that's bad!!), but I know it's over Canada Day Siob, and there will be something special for you all that day!! ;)

Celebrating Canada Day in Texas - now that will be different ;)

What's Canada Day?:confused:

Canada Day (or Dominion Day) is celebrated on July 1st to honour our country's founding...


Did you know that before 1982 Canada Day had been known as Dominion Day, First of July, Confederation Day, and July the First? Canada Day celebrates the events that occurred on July 1, 1867, when the British North America Act created the Canadian federal government. The BNA Act proclaimed "one Dominion under the name of Canada," therefore the original title of the holiday, "Dominion Day." Dominion Day was officially renamed "Canada Day" by an Act of Parliament on October 27, 1982. This change reflected the policy of successive governments to downplay Canada's colonial origins. Canada's national celebration is always observed on July 1, unless that date falls on a Sunday. In which case it is observed the following day.

There are lots of big celebrations across the country - people are decked out in red and white and everyone seems to be able to get their hands on a pair of paper moose antlers (must be a government thing they hand out).
