Información de viaje

Unfortuntetly, we could not secure a block of rooms at the local hotels but we would recommend anything in the San Dimas, La Verne, Claremont, Walnut, areas.  There is also a Double Tree near Cal Poly Pomona that is only about a 10 minute drive.  I would avoid Pomona unless it is right at the Fairplex Fairgrounds.

The event will be live streamed at http://youtube.damien-hs.edu/
