Deep in the heart of Texas … well not that deep. Only 30 minutes outside San Antonio in the lovely Hill Country is the Historic Knibbe Ranch; the destination for this year’s NPRA Safety Awards Celebration.

This casual evening will engage all of your senses: sights of the breathtaking Hill Country, smells of the mesquite smoke, sounds of the roaming cattle, tastes of the sizzling steaks and a touch of a real rodeo to round out the evening.

Buses will depart from Grand Hyatt at 4:30 pm.
