On behalf of the city commission and myself, we want to thank you for choosing to make the trip down to McAllen for one of the biggest sporting events in the state. As we vie for the elusive gold, we’re happy to host a talented group of athletes from across the Lone Star State. We’ve rolled out the red carpet and hope that you have many opportunities to experience the warm hospitality and amenities that our city has to offer.

Exciting, Affordable and Accessible: Visitors to the McAllen area enjoy museums such as the International Museum of Art and Science and the Museum of South Texas History. With a myriad of restaurants, attractions, and destinations eager to “show off” for visitors, we’re positive you won’t want to leave. The area is known for its natural resources and there are many parks and refuges for enjoying the outdoors such as Quinta Mazatlan World Birding Center. Shopping is available on the same site as the McAllen Convention Center as well as in many other areas throughout the City.

44 U.S. OLYMPIC COMMITEE

Summer 2016

Dear Games of Texas Participant: On behalf of the United States Olympic Committee, I am pleased to welcome you to the 2016 TAAF Games of Texas. Since its inception, this festival has not only raised awareness of Olympic sports, but also acted as a vehicle to motivate positive lifestyle choices, inspire value in education and stress the importance of family and community.

The State Games are driven by the potential to positively influence young athletes, the leaders of tomorrow.

Many of our Olympians and Paralympians were inspired to become elite athletes because of their participation in community-based programs such as the State Games.

These programs play an integral role in the development of the athletic skills and the values of many young men and women who dream of representing Team USA in future Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The USOC wishes success to all competitors. The sportsmanship, fair play and respect that you demonstrate during the State Games can set the course for your life’s achievements. Your hard work and dedication prove you are already on the path toward becoming a champion both in sport and life.

Best regards,

Scott A. Blackmun Chief Executive Officer
