This week's a-MAiZE-ing News, with a special focus on the upcoming Corn Party, contains updates, info and ideas you won't want to miss....
Corn Party...Just 3 Days Away!

 
With just three days until many of you arrive in California for the start of our pre-conference bus tour, we wanted to send out a few final reminders & info... 
 
- Though the weather is looking good with sun and mid-60's expected all week, we recommend you pack an umbrella in case we get a day of unexpected rain! Plus, don't forget your photo albums, cameras, and contest entries!
 - If you get in to Sacramento early on Monday and are looking for something fun to do, you may want to check out the California State Railroad Museum. It's one of the world's largest and is located downtown in Old Sacramento, just a short taxi ride away from our hotel. Or, the hotel offers a free shuttle to the nearby mall & several area restaurants.
 
- Don't forget we'll open up registration at 7 pm on Monday where you can get your nametags, binders, etc. and get the chance to start mixing & mingling with other MAiZE family attendees!
 
Enter 2nd Annual Paper Airplane Contest for Free Cutting!
It's back! We'll once again be giving away a free cutting at this year's Corn Party and last year's paper airplane contest was so fun, we're doin' it that way again! To be eligible to win, here's a reminder on what to do:
 
1. CLICK HERE to submit your maze design concept
2. Print out the confirmation form it generates and bring it to the Corn Party to receive your official airplane entry page (one per farm).
3. Once you get that page, build your airplane and be ready to launch it at the designated target during our "fly off" after Friday's dinner.
4. The airplane that comes closest to hitting the target is the big winner!
5. If you aren't able to enter online before coming, we will have an iPad station at the conference where you can submit your design concept onsite and receive your entry form.
 
Time to start brushin' up on your paper airplane construction skills...
 
Last Day to Vote for Your Favorite Website!
Following our "call for entries" a couple of weeks ago, we've had 13 of you submit your website into our Best Website category of the annual Corn Party contests. All of the entries are fantastic and we encourage all of you (even if you are not attending the Corn Party) to CLICK HERE AND VOTE NOW. Only one vote is allowed per person.
 
Voting will continue through Saturday, Feb. 11 and the website receiving the most votes will be announced at the Corn Party. All of these sites are fantastic and a great way for each of us to learn more just by looking at them.
 
Looking to Share An Airport Shuttle at the Corn Party?
Since the Hilton does not have a complimentary shuttle from the airport, you will want to book a SuperShuttle for your transportation. We have arranged a discount, which you can receive by CLICKING HERE to book or calling 800-258-3826 and using the discount code GMZ2H. For additional information about booking, CLICK HERE to download an information sheet.
 
If you have 4 or more people in your party, your cheapest option is to reserve a private 7-passenger van from Super Shuttle for $55 each way. If you have 3 or less, you'll want to book a shared ride van for $15/person each way. For those wanting to see if anyone is flying in at your same time and wants to split a private shuttle, CLICK HERE.
