Event planned by John and Maria Swann
Accommodations:

- No "home hotel" this year, but recommend any hotel on Sidney Baker near La Quinta, for convenience
Friday, October 23rd:
- Spend Friday night (23rd) and avoid having to drive into Kerrville early on Saturday morning.

- BYOB and an appetizer to the Swann's home for a Friday evening ice-breaker. 5.30 to 7.30pm. Follow directions to Comanche Trace below. Their house is on Comanche Trace Drive, 1.9 miles from the entrance to Comanche Trace, on the right.
Saturday, October 24th:

- Meet at La Quinta Inn at 9:00am.

- Morning drive

- Lunch on Saturday will be near Utopia. We will have our own private room in a gourmet restaurant, where we will be served a relaxing four course Cordon Bleu lunch. The property is an interesting Provence-Style building, which has a beautiful garden, with an herb garden, and enormous oaks. It also has a large parking area. This is going to be one of the highlights of the event. Lunch will include an appetizer, soup, choice of two main courses, dessert, iced tea, or coffee, and will cost just $18 plus tax and tip.

- Afternoon drive

Cocktails at 7:00pm, Dinner at 8:00pm. Dinner will be at the Comanche Trace Country Club (Vista Room). Menu is pasta dinner, with individual cooking stations with salad bar, dessert and tea/coffee/soft drink. Dinner will be approximately $18 inclusive. Cash bar. This is an absolutely fantastic meal that you won't want to miss!!

For more information on this event, see John Swann's article in the September issue of the Tejas Trax or look here.

 Sunday, October 25th:

- Meet at La Quinta at 9:30am.

- Sunday will begin with a picturesque drive into some of the less traveled areas around Kerrville.

- Then we'll end the event with a fabulous lunch in a goat barn at the Welfare Cafe, while our cars sit contentedly in the goat corral. The German style cuisine will complete our epicurean medley. This restaurant is a new addition to our itinerary, and the location is just a couple of miles from Interstate 10 near Boerne. Lunch will be $20, which includes iced tea, choice of main course, dessert, tax and tip
