Students– start planning ahead – Worlds Fair Park Drive
will be down to one lane starting Tuesday, 3/12, so parents can’t wait along
the front of Holiday Inn Exhibition Center.
Then WFP Drive will close completely Thursday/Friday, you will not be
able to enter from the south end of the park and it will be closed past our
parking gate. Blackstock Lot parkers
need to expect to be directed to one small area to park for the week – we
suggest planning to park along the edges of the International lot.
