INCREASED TRAFFIC EXPECTED AT WEC THIS WEEKEND
Due to the hosting of Ocala Comic Con at World Equestrian Center this weekend, there will be increased traffic entering/exiting the venue. We recommend avoiding the HWY 40 entry gate as Ocala Comic Con will primarily be utilizing this gate. Please use the main facility entrance off NW 17th Pl & NW 80th Ave or the alternate gate at NW 21st St & NW 80th Ave.
PARKING REMINDERS
Overflow trailer parking is located beyond the turnout paddocks and across the street from the UF Veterinary Hospital.
There is no parking of trailers in the Expo Center lots or complex.

Concerns or suspicions regarding sexual misconduct must be reported to and the authorities if a minor is involved. All of this information can be found in the USEF Safe Sport Policy.
