So, I've been in contact with [[User:LauraHale]] , and she's coordinating efforts for a few Wikimedia Australia people to come to Colorado to take pictures and write articles about a Paralympic ski event that's happening in Vail this December.

I was thinking about it, and how cool would it be if we met them at the train station and welcomed them to the US?
That sounds like a great plan! I should be able to make it, but this semester has been crazy busy, so I won't be able to confirm for sure until a week before. I love Lisa's idea of taking them out to dinner afterwards!
Their train arrives on December 1, at 18:38 (local time, I'm assuming). A small group of Colorado Wikimedians would go a long way in making them feel welcome.
Yup, the California Zephyr arrives at Denver at 6:38pm [1], so that sounds about right!
