• The convention will be held Thursday thru Saturday, June 15-17 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel  www.fourpoints.com.
• Trail-End Dance will be Wednesday, June 14.
• Caller Showcase Dance will be Thursday morning, June 15.

• All dance halls are in the hotel
• All dance halls are air-conditioned
• A-2 hall - tile floor. All other halls are part wood & part carpet, dance on the surface you prefer.
• Free parking
• Indoor & outdoor pool
• Two restaurants
• Health club on property. Free use of sauna, whirlpool & spa to hotel guests.
• Special reduced room rate for square dancers.
• Note: This is the first time in 16 years that all the dance halls have been able to be located within the headquarters hotel. This makes it very convenient for everyone.
  In order to achieve this, we have had to guarantee the hotel a large number of sleeping rooms. If we do not meet this room commitment, the Convention could have a severe financial problem.
  Other properties in the area raise their rates in June, due to the many festivals in Milwaukee each summer. This means other rates will be close to or higher than the Four Points Sheraton, and our hotel offers far more features than other local properties.
  We encourage you to stay at the Four Points Sheraton for your own convenience and to help ensure the success of the Convention.
