| What Convention Is In San Antonio |
First Things First: What's Happening This Weekend?
Hold onto your Stetsons, folks, because right now (drumroll, please) San Antonio is hosting the International Trade Show of Pueblos Magicos! That's right, it's a fiesta of all things magical towns - think stunning Mexican villages showcasing their unique cultures, music, food, and gotta-have-it handicrafts. So ditch the boring business conference and immerse yourself in a world of mariachi and mole!
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
But what if Pueblos Magicos isn't your vibe? No worries, San Antonio's got a convention for that. Check out the official calendar for the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center [This information can potentially be outdated, so be sure to visit the official website for the most up-to-date information] . They've got everything from educational shindigs for teachers (because who says learning can't be fun?) to, well, whatever the Education Service Center is up to this time (mysteries abound!).
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
