Me personally will be going on the 6th since we are 2hrs away from la grange. We should be staying till the 7th or the 8th. Because I have never been to la grange even though I have gone to San Antonio. So we will be booking a hotel room today or tommorow so we have time to get ready for the event. I think it would be best if you are like more than 8 or 9 hours away then I could recommend a hotel about half way to la grange.
