SPECIAL PRESENTATION, SATURDAY only @ 1:00 in the Auditorium

There will be a slideshow presentation Saturday at 1:00 by special guest Lou Sapienza, highlighting his experience photographing the Land Rover Camel Trophy. Sapienza served as the Camel Trophy 96 Team USA Journalist. Sapienza photographed the event held in Borneo during 1996, in which Team USA earned second place.

What is the Camel Trophy? Occasionally called "The Olympics of 4x4", the Camel Trophy was a vehicle-oriented competition that was held annually between 1980 and 2000, and it was best known for its use of Land Rover vehicles over challenging terrain.
