The Symposium is fast approaching and will be here before we know it. To give you an update on what we are planning, the following information is still somewhat tentative. The convention center is located at 20 N 100 E. The Jacob Hamblin Park is located at 566 N 100 E.

High Level Agenda:

• Registration will open on August 25th and close September 24th.
• If you haven’t made motel or camping reservations, I highly recommend that you do so as soon as possible.  October is a busy time in Kanab, and we are sharing the convention center with a church group who will be holding their annual conclave at the convention center at the same time we will be there.   The list of motels and camping grounds was listed in the March Vestiges.
• Because there will be a church group at the convention center at the same time we will be there, parking will be limited.  There is construction going on at the center as well, so construction vehicles are taking up parking spaces too. It is unknown whether construction will be finished by October 10th, they hope so. Parking is permitted along the street if you don’t block someone's driveway.  If you get a motel close to the convention center, think about walking, otherwise, see if you can carpool with someone.
• Most of the events will take place at the Kanab Convention Center in Kanab at 210N 100E.
• The field trip leader meet and greet will be held on Thursday, October 9th from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the top Pavilion at the Jacob Hamblin Park. The other events at this location are the Watermelon Social on Friday, October 10th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The field trips will leave from the park parking lot at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, October 10th and Monday, October 13th.
• The workshops will be held at the Convention Center on October 9th starting at 8:30 a.m.  There will be signage to guide you to your workshop.

• There will be 10 different field trips held on Friday the 10th and Monday the 13th at 8:00 a.m. Field trips will leave from the Jacob Hamblin Park. There will be field trips for every level of hiking. The field trip descriptions will be posted when registration opens.

• The presentations will take place at the Kanab Convention in the gymnasium on Saturday, October 11th and Sunday, October 12th starting at 8:00 a.m. The speaker abstracts will be posted when registration opens. Be sure to print them out. There will also be some at the registration desk should you forget to print one.
•  The banquet will be held in the gymnasium at the Convention Center starting at 6:00 p.m. The Oscar Awards, Live Auction, and entertainment will follow the banquet.
•  If you have any questions regarding the Symposium, please contact Pat Sullivan at 4rockart@gmail.com.
