RE: PARKING (From the Contest Director)
“Owasso Schools will be taping off the area near the pond west of the stadium. Spectators will not be allowed to park in the grassy area on the West Campus this year. We will still park those with a handicapped sticker in the West lot and bring them to the stadium via a golf cart. Grass parking is not allowed. We are working with our FFA folks (their property is directly east of the high school) to set up VIP parking opportunities. We will offer FREE shuttle parking to various churches near the contest.”
