The early staging times are due to the expected turn out and to facilitate parking the PGR vehicles together.  There are an Exxon and a Shell station exactly two miles NW of the Part 1 Staging Point (entrance to Mid-Way Airport). Food is also available there.  There is another Shell station approximately two-tenths of a mile SE of Wayne Boze Funeral Home.  For Part 2, there are several gas stations and restaurants approximately 1.3 miles east of the Civic Center at and near the intersection of US Highways 287 & 77 on the north side of Waxahachie.  Also, air conditioning and restrooms are available at the Civic Center.  And please don’t forget to pack your rain gear, just in case.
