Public parking is available at the Park & Ride location on Cabela’s Drive for a small fee. Races start at 10 a.m. both days and run throughout the two-day event. There will be fun activities in the park and lots of food and drink booths.  Come out and support this special Buda event.

There will be special hours this Saturday, April 26, at the Buda Library with the doors opening at 4 p.m. and closing at 8 p.m.
