Hotel, Restaurants, Sight Seeing.  Arrangements have been made with the Drury Plaza Hotel Riverwalk to serve as the host hotel.  However, as of early August, our group allotment of rooms with two queen beds at the the Drury Plaza was full, but  there were still some king bedded rooms available at a slightly higher rate.  You may want to consider one of the alternates, either the La Quinta Inn & Suites San Antonio Convention Center or the Drury Inn & Suites Riverwalk.  Remember that at all three hotels you can cancel your booking very close to arrival with no penalty or fee.  San Antonio is a convention/tourist city and the Downtown Hotels book up quickly and our group allotments expire September 15... make your hotel reservations now!

For food, try our restaurant guide.  And if you have time for exploring, check the San Antonio Trolley system.

Scooter Lee. Scooter Lee will be at the Jamboree! If you line dance, Scooter Lee and her music need little introduction.  She will perform both Friday and Saturday:

• 7:00-7:45 PM Friday at the Pre-Jam Party

• 1:00-1:45 Saturday at the Jamboree

Scooter perfected the formula for a perfectly phrased, "dancer friendly" song.  Her Charity Work includes, The Cancer Society, The Red Cross, the Diabetes Foundation and Second Wind Dreams,  Her "passion" is now her own  nonprofit charity called  "Dancing For The Dream".  Her website, Scooter Lee, can provide many more details.
