Updates

Park & Ride

Parking can be a hassle! Fortunately, we have a park & ride system set up. We are adding more park & ride shuttles from Alamo Stadium's northwest parking lots this year. The shuttle will run from 6 am - 2 pm. This doesn't mean you shouldn't encourage carpooling as much as possible, but this adds to the inventory and also creates a convenient drop-off point near the UIW International Conference Center.


 
Meal Deal Update! 
Kiolbassa Smoked Meats  has added some options to the meals they'll be offering  for $4.00 (pre-sale) or $5 at the event. Pick any combination of two items listed: 
  • Sausage Wrap (wrapped in flour tortilla)
  • Sausage with roll on a stick
  • Chips (such as Doritos, Cheetos, Lays Chips, etc.)
  • Chorizo Cheese Dip with Mission Tortilla Chips
  • Bacon on a Stick (we will have a spicy sausage option for those that like it hot)

Contact Marsha Stuart at mstuart@kiolbassa.com to pre-order by Thursday, June 1.
