HOW TO PLAN YOUR DAY

It is important to note that Western does not create a set schedule for your day but that you decide what to see and do. There is no central sign-in or confirmation of attendance required. You have the freedom and flexibility to attend and take part in those activities that are of the most interest to you. We do feel that with so many different options available you may wish to spend some time reviewing the day's events and plan your time accordingly.

Step 1: Print off the DAY PLANNER and plan your visit before you come. That way you will be sure to see all the things you are interested in.
