Please make sure your EZ-UP(s) are staked into the ground and any supplies you leave are properly covered. We don’t want wind or morning dew ruining your items.
There will not be the option to drop off gear Saturday morning due to park entry logistics.
Due to other activities in the park on Saturday October 1st 2022, please consider the following when planning your teardown.
Thank you for your understanding and assistance.
The contents of a booth are 100% the responsibility of the unit. You will need to bring your own EZ-UP, tables, chairs, etc. You pick the right booth size for you. Most units use a 10×10 or a 10×20, but some need larger. If you are doing dutch oven or camp cooking as your event, please see that FAQ.
Please make sure your EZ-UP(s) are staked into the ground and any supplies you leave are properly covered. We don’t want wind or morning dew ruining your items.
If your unit activity is to do dutch oven or camp cooking, you will need to adhere to the following:
No, units will need to bring EZ Ups and tables if they are needed for the activity
Due to transportation challenges, any resupplying would need to be easily transported on the buses. Bringing shopping type bags aboard will be acceptable. Depending on time of day and number of people seeking transportation, we cannot guarantee larger items like ice chests will fit. People requiring transport will take precedence over supplies.
Approximately 250, may be shared across District tables and other Pack booths
On Friday and Sunday, we will have the road around the main area open to facilitate unloading and loading. Once you unload, you must immediately move your vehicle off the road to the main parking lot. You can not leave your car on the road while setting up your booth or tearing down.
No vehicles will be allowed on any grass areas.
Yes, you are responsible for all your own trash and cleanup. We will have a dumpster available. Trash is not to be left at any of existing cans, it should only be put in the dumpster. If you are cooking and have coals, you need to manage during your activity. We will show you a place to put later.
We need your help to have the best event possible. We have multiple areas needing assistance. Please do not assume that someone else will help. We need every unit to ask itself, “where will we help”?
