Exciting Times In Grande Prairie

Travelling back home to Grande Prairie after attending the Hyundai conference in Vancouver I was amused  and entertained listening the conversation beside me at the airport. I quickly came to realize that light travels faster than sound for a reason; some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak. Well needless to say their conversation about how our economic times are changing did offer a bit of comic relief in an otherwise boring environment.

As random and off the mark as their conversation seemed to be, it did bring to light the fact that our economy has picked up and is defiantly headed in the right direction.  The Oil and Gas Industry, Forestry, Agriculture, Services and yes even the Car business are all on an upward trend tracking to exceed forecasts of two years ago. With Hyundai and Chrysler rolling out several new models for 2011 I think this will be an exciting year in the car business. Especially since the Grande Prairie Auto Group have the exclusive Air Miles program; with every new or quality used vehicle sold we can give our customers 1000 Air Miles!

With a new found excitement for the months ahead I am refreshed and ready to face the weather that Mother Nature is brewing up for all of us warm hearted Albertans!

Speaking of warm, it was defiantly not warm at our annual golf tournament, but the rain did manage to hold off until the 18^th hole. It was a tight competition between Sawchy’s Stroke of Luck and Kaban’s Kerplunks, the Harry Putters came close with an almost hole in one at the hoola-hoop shot, team Foreplay won for hitting the shooter girls golf cart and team Close Enough’s really didn’t come close to winning at all! In the end all the putting string purchased, with the proceeds going to the Grande Prairie S.P.C.A., really paid off for Kaban’s Kerplunks as they ended with a final score of 17 under par! All in all it was day of bad weather, crappy golf and good fun!

Our 100 k give-a-way contest is growing daily with hopeful new entrants all with their eyes on the grand prize. It is easy to enter just log onto our website at http://www.gpautogroup.com/ and click on the 100k logo. Our next early bird draw will take place on Tuesday October 26^th.

Until next time I leave you with this advice... "Do not argue with an idot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."
