With our higher altitude, you need to drink more water while visiting. You may feel a bit lethargic a day or two after arriving due to the altitude, but this should only be temporary. OTHER CONVENTION HIGHLIGHTS Monday night will start our Convention with a Fun Filled “Fiesta de la Rosa” Evening. This is for all counterparts, other members and guests. Counterparts WILL be seated together so they may catch up on events from the last year. Our Tuesday Night Event, the “Western Shuffle”, promises to be an evening filled with good food, camaraderie, and dancing. Wear your western attire if you wish and bring your dancing boots. Check your side arms at the door! Following Omaha’s wonderful idea of a “pre-performance” buffet we are hosting this event on Friday and Saturday after Session. This will give all ticket holders an opportunity to enjoy a buffet dinner before going to the evening performances. Limited time usually means no eating and these buffets will be featured as a “come and go” – no formal seating and no hurrying! We are hoping this gives you ample time to enjoy a meal before watching the performances of our fabulous units.
