FAQs

Question

Are children welcome?

Yes! Though it is important that children are not to be left unattended. Keep in mind that this is a working ranch.

No climbing on haystacks, tractors, fencing or livestock.

Question

Is smoking allowed?

Answer

Yes, but only in the specific area for fire safety. Please only smoke in the designated area on the concrete pad next to the porta potties and dispose of butts in the provided receptacle.

Question

Will there be overnight camping?

Answer

Camping is possible, as long as whomever wants to knows bear safety and how to clean camp without any attractants. There have been recent bear sightings in the area. Car camping sounds even safer! The porta potties and handwashing station will be available still of course.

Question

Parking and Transportation

Answer

Parking is limited and will be designated by signage and ribbon. Please do not drive in ribboned off areas - they are growing grass for livestock. Carpooling is encouraged to cut down on cars that need to park. Reasonable requests will be honored including handicapped parking if needed. The most important thing is that no one drinks too much and drives. We will have a couple sober people that could give people rides home if needed, and their cars can spend the night and be picked up the next morning. Venue owners insist on leaving vehicles locked and can hold the keys for safety if needed.
