San Antonio, Texas is the site of the 2010 Firefighters' National Credit Union Summit. 

The hotel location is the Omni La Mansion del Rio
on the Riverwalk and set for October 3-6, 2010.

This year's conference includes an optional tour of the Texas Hill Country (Cost $85. )

Includes transportation, tour guide, all admissions, and lunch. 

(Our friends at the Houston Texas Fire Fighters Federal Credit Union recommended this tour and praised Hill Country as absolutely one of the most beautiful areas to tour... a real "must do!") 

We will board the motor coach to Gruene, Texas, a quaint cotton gin town nestled in the Texas Hill Country. Filled with antique shops, Winery, and even the Oldest Honky-Tonk in Texas.   

Lunch at Grist-Mill restaurant on the Guadalupe River & off to the vineyards for wine tasting and more. 

Known, for its rich soil, laced with limestone, flattened shale chips, provides ideal growing conditions for the grapes. Dry Comal Creek is a new venture, but its wines have achieved awards and recognition for their outstanding quality. The picturesque setting with lovely limestone structures is a beautiful setting to enjoy a few tastings.

  Why San Antonio?
(Click here for more on San Antonio)

San Antonio is the second-largest city in the state of Texas and the seventh-largest city in the United States.

Centrally located in the heart of Texas, San Antonio offers a blend of charm, vibrancy and color. There is much to do for large and small groups—we attribute it to our unique culture. When Tex-Mex meets Old West the atmosphere is rich: the river passages—colorful, the cuisine—even more flavorful, and the people—genuine. So round up the group and savor San Antonio!

In San Antonio, groups can…

…take advantage of 300 days of sunshine a year at one of our award winning golf courses soon to include two PGA Tournament Players Club golf courses.

…book an afternoon at one of our impressive, full service spas. Only in San Antonio can groups luxuriate with an Avocado Facial, a Texas Two-Step Massage and the Yellow Rose Bathing Ritual.

…identify inspirational eras of art at San Antonio’s various galleries, museums, and even when exploring the architecture of centuries-old missions and cathedrals.

…ride a roller coaster, catch a show and meet Shamu! San Antonio is home to theme parks SeaWorld San Antonio and Six Flags Fiesta Texas, both with extensive group programs.

The Alamo, located nearby, is Texas' top tourist attraction, while the River Walk is the second most visited attraction. SeaWorld, located 16 miles west of downtown, is the number 3 attraction. Also, there is the very popular Six Flags Fiesta Texas..

The downtown area also features Cathedral of San Fernando, The Majestic Theatre, HemisFair Park (home of the Tower of the Americas and the Institute of Texan Cultures), La Villita, El Mercado, the Spanish Governor's Palace, and the historic Menger Hotel. On the northern side of the Alamo complex, beside the Emily Morgan Hotel, is the San Antonio Cavalry Museum, which features cavalry artifacts and exhibits and is frequented by local re-enactors.

The Fairmount Hotel, built in 1906 and San Antonio's second oldest hotel, is in the Guinness World Records as one of the heaviest buildings ever moved intact. It was placed in its new location, three blocks south of the Alamo, over four days in 1985, and cost $650,000 to move.
