Four Weeks to EMStock!

[Guest guest]

EMStock is only four weeks away. Everything is in order. EMStock is held in

Ellis County (south of Dallas) between Ovilla and Midlothian. The event will

be three days of education, entertainment and fellowship. EMStock offers

top-notch CE (TDSHS- and CECBEMS-approved) from some of the nation's top

speakers (e.g., Ray Fowler, MD-UTSW, Wesley, MD-MN State EMS Director,

Jim Augustine, MD-Medical Director, Washington, DC Fire, and others). Friday

night the local band " 281 South " will perform (featuring a Mansfield FD

paramedic). Saturday will gave the Texas Chili and Barbecue Cook-Off. Texas

Poet Laureate Fromholz will be the guest judge and perform in the

evening. After (and perhaps with him), the band " and

the Edge of Texas " will perform (featuring ETMC-EMS paramedic Don Elbert on

the keyboards).

RV and primitive camping available on the property (no utilities-first come

first serve). Local hotels (Midlothian, Waxahachie, Lancaster, Cedar Hill,

Mansfield) are available. The award-winning Rahr Brewery from Fort Worth

sponsors " 281 South " and will be here giving away their wares.

Registrations are way up. We have a great assortment of sponsors. Please

make plans to attend. Additional information available at

http://www.emstock.com. If you are planning to attend, please pre-register

on the web site. A $20.00 admission covers all three days, the CE, and a

free T-shirt. A food vendor will be on hand. Plenty of chili and barbecue

should be available Saturday.

We are looking forward to an unforgettable weekend. Prior attendees have

called EMStock the single best EMS event they have ever attended. Don't miss

it.
