Who’s Up For a Genealogy Road Trip?
September
is the perfect time to travel – the tourists have mostly gone home, the
roads are in good condition and the weather is perfect! What could be
better? Well, how about a Genealogy Road Trip?
Why not get a few friends together and come to Kelowna for the “Harvest Your Family Tree” Genealogy Conference, taking place from Sept. 23-25, 2016? Sharing the costs and enjoying the companionship of like-minded friends is a wonderful way to see the countryside.
The Kelowna Inn & Suites is offering an unbelievable rate of only $79 per night
(plus taxes), including breakfast, to our Conference registrants. This
is definitely budget-friendly, especially if you share the room with a
friend or two. The hotel is nicely appointed, has an on-site restaurant
and is very conveniently located along Hwy. 97 halfway between the
Friday and Saturday Conference venues. www.kelownainnandsuites.com; 1-800-667-6133 – be sure to tell them you are coming for the Genealogy Conference.
While in Kelowna, enjoy our great shopping, many beautiful wineries, historic sites and get in some genealogy research at our KDGS Family & Local History Resource Centre and
the other great archives and specialty libraries close-by. Be sure to
scoop up some freshly-picked apples to bring home, too! Go to the Conference pages at www.KDGS.ca, then take a look at the “Staying in Kelowna” page for lots of great suggestions and website links. You may also want to stay on a few days after the Conference to see the Royals: Prince William, Duchess Kate and little George & Charlotte will be in Kelowna on Sept. 27th!!!
Register for our Conference: www.KDGS.ca. Don’t delay too long as some workshops are filling up quickly!
