Is there assistance for people with special needs?
The free shuttle buses are ADA-compliant. Auditorium Shores is wheelchair-accessible; however, the natural terrain makes it difficult to maneuver a wheelchair. We will not provide personal care, golf cart rides, or push service. Please bring attendants if needed. Please contact us in advance with your request, and we’ll do our best to accomodate you.

Will there be a lost & found area?
The Community pavilion will include a lost & found area. To assist us in returning items, please label everything, preferably with a mobile phone number. After the event, you can email us to see if we can help locate items. Any unclaimed items will be donated to a local non-profit after May 30, 2007. Freescale Semiconductor is not liable for any lost items or unclaimed items.
