2O11 SCHEDULE

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2O12 THROUGH FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2O12






Everything in Texas is bigger and better, including the good times!



How y’all doin? Celebrate 15 super years in the Hill Country, play cowboy at an authentic Texas ranch and if you wish, stay over for the new Texas F-1 Race!

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11

For our 15th annual Texas 1OOO, we’ll assemble Sunday afternoon at the luxurious Westin La Cantera Resort outside San Antonio. Among other things, this features an award-winning golf course, tennis, a neat new spa and fabulous 36O degree views over the Texas Hill Country.

It’s also just 1O miles from San Antonio International Airport. We’ll pick you up with a new Porsche Cayenne or Panamera. The resort is also easily reached from I-35 or I-1O. We can safely leave tow rigs for the week.

Nearby San Antonio is perfect for a Sunday afternoon stroll to visit The Alamo, River Walk and historic La Villita. We’ll have a private riverboat ride before dinner at one of the historic gourmet restaurants in downtown.

We’ll stay overnight at Westin La Cantera. Jean has blocked rooms for Friday and Saturday night if you’d like to arrive early. Call her asap.



MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12

We’ll rally west over our favorite driving roads in the whole world, arriving for dinner and overnight at Mayan Ranch in Bandera, “The Cowboy Capitol of the World.”

Mayan Ranch is great fun, an upscale resort blended with a Texas horse ranch. It's been owned and managed by the Hicks family for over half a century. We'll stay in Hill Country-style stone cottages and chow down in the stone and timber dining hall.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13

We’ll explore new trails to the north, then return in time to relax before enjoying an authentic cowboy barbeque complete with all the trimmings. You can ride horseback to dinner, ride in a carriage or be driven in a horseless carriage. Overnight again at Mayan Ranch.



WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14

We’re off toward Fredericksburg, the heart of the Hill Country. We'll visit some private car collections, enjoy lunch and Texas-style shopping.

We’ll visit other Hill Country attractions like LBJ Ranch and Luckenbach on our way back to overnight at La Cantera. Dinner will be at an exciting new gourmet restaurant that shows the more sophisticated side of Texas.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15

We’ll rally through the most picturesque areas of the Hill Country, stop to check out the activities during Formula 1 practice and return to La Cantera for overnight and our famous Cowperson Chic Victory Banquet.



FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16

Our event ends with a leisurely breakfast at La Cantera. And Texas 1OOO is over till next year...except for new friends and great memories! But wait! There’s still the exciting Formula 1 race weekend!

Jean has booked rooms at Westin La Cantera for Friday night through Sunday night, November 16-18. Hotels in and around Austin have tripled their rates for this race weekend. And Austin highways are always jammed with traffic; it'll be even worse on a race weekend.

But the race track is actually considerably south and east of Austin near the tiny town of Elroy, Texas. It's closer to San Antonio than to many of the Austin area hotels that have jacked up their rates. We figure you can stay at La Cantera and save a thousand dollars, plus hop on I-35 and zip up to the track with virtually no traffic! Let Jean know asap if you're interested.
