Funds will go towards the construction of a national headquarters and learning institute.

Singer Gwen Mathews dazzled delegates at the NRPA Night on the Marvelous Mississippi. Food, music, and entertainment from several ports along the "Mighty Mississip" were represented throughout Gaviidae Commons. Delegates and jitterbugs alike enjoyed the sounds of ragtime and Oompahpah music as they strolled through the upscale shopping mall that seemed like a trip down memory lane. No party would be complete without the joy of Mardi Gras. Decked out in traditional beads and masks, these two delegates happily joined in the final social event of the Congress. Traditional dancers give delegates a taste of San Antonio, the site for next year's Congress. The bright colors and festive music helped to spice up a crowd that had been attending education sessions, meetings, and socials for days. The dancers, just like NRPA, left them wanting more.

With all of their colorful and festive backgrounds, NRPA's diverse members find one thing in common...the celebration of parks and recreation. 1994 CONGRESS EXHiBiTORS 3-D Banner Systems 6th Annual Wilderness Conference A A.B.
