AUGUST 15-17 INTE R IO NAT NAL HOSPITALITY GUIDE DULUTH ENTERTAINMENT CONVENTION CENTER 350 Harbor Drive, Duluth, MN 55802 HOSTED BY: Welcome to duluth How to Get Here By Air Duluth International Airport is conveniently located just 10 minutes from downtown. Daily flights are provided by Delta Airlines and United Airlines to three major hubs, Minneapolis, Detroit and Chicago—with connections to more than 120 domestic cities and over 20 international destinations. Additional flights are available on Allegiant Airlines through hubs in Las Vegas and Orlando. About the Hosts Harbor City Roller Dames’ (HCRD’s) wheels first started spinning in January 2007. Bringing the fastest growing sport in the nation to the Twin Ports began to seem like merely a hard-hitting dream as we skated up against a number of obstacles along the way. But, thankfully, we could never shake the passion and commitment to seeing our league succeed. In October 2009, we became skaterowned and hit the track for our first official competitive season! We have invited leagues from around the Midwest and Canada to skate by the lake. We have also traveled to compete against neighboring leagues in Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Iowa, as well as Ontario, Canada. We were accepted as a member of the Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby Association (WFTDA) in June of 2013. HCRD is owned and operated entirely by dedicated skaters. As a league, we work to give back to our community by making donations and taking part in events that benefit local, charitable, nonprofit organizations. There is also the option of flying to Minneapolis Airport [www. mspairport.com/] and then driving or shuttling to Duluth. Skyline Shuttle offers affordable daily shuttle vans between Duluth and Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport and there are six daily departure times to choose from. Call (888) 354-2677 to reserve your seat or visit Skyline Shuttle for online reservations. They provide direct drop off to the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC) and surrounding hotels. By Bus Jefferson Busline has limited hours and locations available; however, to see if they can help with your travel needs, go to their Website [www.jeffersonlines.com/book-your-trip.asp] and click on “book your trip.” It will take you through the steps to help you decide if Jefferson Busline is the right travel option for you. By Car From eastern Canada, follow the edge of Lake Superior along the internationally renowned North Shore Drive, otherwise known as Scenic Highway 61, approximately 194 miles southwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario. From western Canada, travel Highway 53 through the iron-rich Iron Range of northern Minnesota—the iron that built a nation—just 397 miles from Winnipeg, Manitoba. From points south (and much of the world is south of Minnesota) you’ll probably come through the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, 156 miles on Interstate 35; or through Chicago, 465 miles northwest across Wisconsin. But no matter which way you come, it’s a beautiful drive with a breathtaking destination. Taxi A-1 Taxi, Inc.

There will be a warm-up area closed to the public. It will not be a full regulation track, but will be pillar-free and on the same surface as the regulation track.
