Dear Editor:

Thank you so much to the people of Merritt! My husband and I attended the Great Canadian Bike Rally and must say the hospitality of your town was second to none! We had attended Mountain Music Fest on other occasions but I have never felt so welcomed into the community as we did while attending the Rally! You opened your town to us and it is my hope that the people of Merritt felt that it was received with much respect. We had the good fortune of meeting many of the locals. It was really nice to participate in the festivities with the residents of the area. We and our friends plan to return next year for the 2nd Annual Great Canadian Bike Rally. Thank you Merritt!

Lynne James,

Comox, B.C.
