Activities for Spouses and Children!

Join us in July for a great adventure. Visit the Spanish Mission Trail, taste authentic Indian and Mexican foods, try your luck at the slot machines at Speaking Rock Casino on the Tigua Indian reservation, look for historical items at the Bookery, a stop on the Pony Express route. Shop for Southwestern and Mexican wares at the El Paso Connection.

Visit For Bliss Air Defense Center next to the hotels and airport. Walk through Missile Park and learn the history of Army Air Defense. See the old Replica museum and pretend you rode with the Buffalo Soldiers or General Black Jack Pershing, protecting the pioneers on their way west.

Shop in our large, modern malls on both sides of the city. Shop at Tony Lama and Justin Boot outlet stores for real cowboy boots. Visit the El Paso Chile Company, Azar Nut Shop, and Stahmans Pecan Paradise, for great southwestern gifts. Ride the Border Jumper Trolley to scenic Juarez, see a bull fight, visit the market place and the beautiful cathedral.

Enjoy the best steaks in Texas at Cattelman's Ranch in Fabens and great ribs and brisket at the Stateline Steaks and Bar-B-Que. If you like great Mexican food, El Paso is the only place!

Stay over and see New Mexico, visit White Sands monument, Carlsbad Caverns, Old Mesilla and dine at La Posta or the Double Eagle where Billy the Kid spent many days. Drive to the mountains of New Mexico and enjoy the cool weather in the tall pines, visit the casinos on the Apache reservation and play golf at the In of the Mountain Gods. All of these places are just a day trip from El Paso.

Make this conference a family vacation to remember!
