The lot is divided up into four sections: Red, Green, Blue and Orange. Look for the balloons on the tents and up-above that indicate the color section. Each yellow tent sign also indicates that section with a color sticker in the upper left hand corner. The upper right hand corner has the tent ID #. EX: B35 means tent 35 in the Blue section. See a sample of the tent sign.
We will have lots of volunteers onsite to help you locate your tent.
