Since I'm new to the forum, I'm not sure if these have ever been brought up, and I'm too short on time to pore through every single post. I'm going to post anyway.
My favourite games are Bellingham Wa. and Canmore Alta. My love of the Bellingham Games goes way back to my dancing days when it was actually held in Bellingham, I won't say when that was, and was happily renewed when my daughter started dancing 7 years ago. This year (2005) it goes to a two day event which is such a great idea because the numbers of competitors has gotten huge! We camp on site for the weekend and family comes from all over BC and Washington for the event. Just like it used to be back in the olden days. Hovander Homestead Park in Whatcom County (Ferndale), about 30 mins. south of Surrey BC and 2 hours north of Seattle on the I-5. Loads of the usual vendors but also lots of demonstration booths, bands (the Wicked Tinkers!!!!!), food, sunshine (usually), dancers of all types, heavy games, kids games..........oh the list goes on! Now that we live in Alberta we take a week off for this event. I will not give it up, even if my daughter quits dancing!

Their link, but don't let the site fool you, the games are way more interesting than the site! :

Canmore is fun too and we only started doing that one two years ago. In the city park right in the middle of Canmore. Chilly in the morning but lovely in the afernoon. Again, loads of the usuals, vendors, bands, games, something for everyone and a great atmosphere.

Just my thoughts, any more suggestions on good Alta and BC games?
