Lots of interesting articles in the Digest this week. Please take the time to read through it. IN the next week or so, we’ll start announcing the speakers for the 9th Annual Frac Sand Supply & Logistics Conference! It is coming together nicely. The Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort added some rooms to our block as we started to fill up. They also added rooms to the days just before and after the conference as they have had several requests for people who want to enjoy the resort for a few days before or after the conference. If your kids are taking classes online (or homeschooled, like mine), then bring them along. The resort has great wifi, and when school work is done they can enjoy the lazy river, water slide, wave runner, golf, free bicycle usage, wildlife feeding, etc. It is going to be a great conference. I hope you join us!
