Body
First will have one, maybe two massage therapists. They will give
10-minute massages for $10. We will not be collecting any
money ahead of time for this but if you want a massage let us know so
we have a pretty good idea how many people they need to prepare
for. You will pay the massage therapist when you get your massage.
