| What
should you bring? |
You
will want to bring camping gear, bedding, flashlight, towels, water,
sleeping pad, tent (if desired), waterproof tarps, sunscreen, and
bug repellent. Be prepared for cold and damp nights (extra blankets,
ground cloths and warm clothes) and hot days (hats and sunscreen).
Bring kids and good energy, but do not bring pets (except for unicorns),
candles, or drugs. Costumes and banners will make things more beautiful
in our village. Bring along your musical instruments, especially
drums. Bring utensils, bowls, plates, cups, food, coolers, camp
stove and something to share at the pot-lucks, Friday and Saturday
evening and Sunday breakfast. Bring a canteen or water container
and be sure to drink plenty of water while there. Alcohol is permitted
at the festival, but only at our camps, dining area and in ritual
space. We will have a limited amount of firewood available for sale.
There will also be some available at the Park Office, and in nearby
Weott. |

This
is to be an informal "family reunion" type of event. Don't
expect a lot of formal ritual or scheduled events. We do, however,
plan to have several workshops (details to be released later...(plus,
of course, the above-mentioned concert)...
The following is tentative and more or less a guideline of what
might happen more than what will. For all we know, the whole thing
could evolve into something completely different. Such is our nature
after all. :) |
