Beach volleyball seemed just the thing to do on a day like this.

Some people didn't mind getting wet, like this volunteer below sitting on the dunk tank.

 Tai Chi, exercise for young and old, male & female being demonstrated.

Among the many novel merchants selling wares was this unique shop that sells replacement bra straps. Ones that make a fashion statement.

Here is the solar car we have been reading about. The car was designed and built by University of Calgary students and it is named Schulich 1.  The car will be competing in a race that starts in Texas and they plan to arrive back in Calgary July 22, 2008 for a finish line celebration.

Here is a racing car of a different sort. Wonder what it gets to the litre?

And finally from the "Passion Play" here is a centurion. Kinda makes the street feel a bit safer doesn't it.
