Spend a day at the Enchanted Springs Ranch with the MCAA.
Spend a day at the Enchanted Springs Ranch with the Mason Contractors Association of America during the MCAA Midyear Meeting in San Antonio, September 14-16, 2011.

The Enchanted Springs Ranch, a western movie set and animal park, is an eighty-six acre working ranch with rugged, natural beauty, exotic animals, and real live cowboys and cowgirls. Originally designed for Western movies, the old west town consists of over 40 buildings and has already been used in several TV films, commercials and music videos. This truly magical place is where all your dreams of the old west come true.

The day will kick off with an authentic cowboy breakfast served at the fire pit, followed by the MCAA Board Meeting and three premium educational programs: Forming Peer Groups, Shifting from Mason Contractor to Brand Builder, and Increasing Production. A fajita lunch will be served at the ranch.

Several great activities are planned after lunch, including a tractor wagon ride, cow pie throwing, and surprises for everyone! The evening will begin with a campfire sing along, followed by a ribeye steak dinner served in the Silver Spur Saloon. It will be an experience you won't soon forget!

So pack your cowboy hat and boots and register online now at www.masoncontractors.org/midyear to make your plans to join the MCAA in San Antonio.
