Old Capitol Center parking ramp or at
the Hancher (Auditorium) parking
lots," Martens said.

Martens said there will be almost twice
the amount of parking available to
visitors attending the events.

with parking because we have plenty of
volunteers to direct traffic away from
the (participants)," Martens said.
