Update on Bands for OTR 2010

Here are some recent changes to the music line up for this years OTR.

 

Internet at OTR

Wi-Fi Internet AccessWi-Fi Internet service will be available at OTR again this year, thanks to Johnny Parsons. The cost will be $14 for the whole weekend and can be received at most points in the campground and down at the pavilion. Please see Johnny for access. Information will be available at registration.

 

Vendors

One of the popular draws for OTR each year is the many caving vendors.  Situated along Vendors Row and up the main OTR Road they provide caving and caver related wares.  Everything from the latest in caving apparel to fantastic art work, gem stones, wine, fossils, books, bats, books about bats, just about anything you could think of.  If you need new gear for your next caving trip or even just some fresh batteries for the weekend be sure to stop by.  Below are links to more information about our vendors and how to contact them if you need something before the next OTR.  (more to be added soon)

 

A Faster Registration

We are putting registration changes in place this year that will allow us to speed up the registration process. Many people have requested that we add the capability to fill in your registration based on last year’s information. For most people if you haven’t changed address or contact information since last year, this is exactly what it will do. It is also the first steps to allow us to provide pre-registration for next year’s OTR (2011). 

Don’t forget to bring your TRA Membership Card this year.

Schedule of Events for OTR 2010

This year you will see the return of many of your favorite events and contests, but with the addition of many of the new activities it’s important that you plan ahead so that you don’t miss anything. This year the schedule of events will NOT be included in the guide book. Instead it will be posted to the bulletin boards around the campsite. Each day’s activities will be published in the Coot-n-Holler which is available around the campground and distribution sites and at Cooters.
