2018 MCAA Midyear Meeting Ladies Program
The Real Austin Tour
We are very happy to present a new optional event for the MCAA Midyear Meeting. On Monday, September 24, MCAA First Lady Susie Odom will be hosting a ladies tour of downtown Austin.
A short description is below:
Discover the best of the city in just two hours! This fast-paced “bucket list” tour gives visitors a great snapshot of Austin: get dizzy gazing upward at the Capitol’s dome, indulge in decadent treats from iconic food trucks, explore cool outdoor art, snap photos at city landmarks, and check out funky neighborhoods only a local would know about. This detour is jam-packed with facts, history and trivia on everything from Whole Foods to the UT campus, and everyone from Michael Dell to Willie Nelson. By the time you’re done with this tour, you’ll be able to say you “get” Austin – the history, people, music, culture, food and what keeps it “weird.” If you’re looking for a snappy quick overview of the city, or just need to prove to the social media universe you were in Austin this is the detour for you!

- 6th Street
- Red River (music) District
