Parking Details
Everyone will be parking in the Stratford Parking Lot (2300 Stratford Dr.) and enter through the Hartman Gate Entrance (near the Rose Garden). Upon entering, you will follow the path outlined on the map until you find a volunteer check-in table shortly after entering. From there you will continue up the hill, along the path until you reach the Oak Grove which serves as the Main Event Space. The check-in table for the Oak Grove is the First-Aid and Water Station that will be under a pop-up tent. From there we will direct you to positions.
