A: No, ticket holders may bring family members who can be in a photo with the paid ticket holder and Whit. However, only ticket holders may receive autographs based on the package purchased.
Q: Do I need to be there at 10 a.m. or can I come any time between 10 a.m. and noon?
A: Doors will open at 10 a.m. Because it is a game day, Whit must leave at noon. All ticket holders need to be in line by 11:15 a.m.

A: Limited parking is available in front of the Special Olympics Kansas headquarters office. Additional parking is available at the Lilac Center up the drive to the south of the building.

A: Yes, handicap parking is available in front of the building and there is a ramp in the front for wheelchair access.

A: We will have a tent set up outside where you will check in with a staff member and receive your limited edition 8×10 photograph and a slip of paper showing the items you plan to have autographed. You will then proceed inside the building and make your way to where Whit is signing. When you reach the signing room you will hand your slip of paper and items to be autographed to a staff member who will give them to Whit to sign. If you are having your photo taken with him you will be asked to stand next to him as he signs and when he is done the photo will be taken. When he is done signing you may take your items and exit to the patio and back through the front of the building.
