Food vendors include: Wild Willie which serves up delicious breakfast sausage gravy homemade biscuits and a killer BarBQue with homemade slaw. Italian Ice and homemade fudge will also be available for the sweet tooth in everyone.

Tie Dye from Spiral Light Productions (as usual) so everyone can take a souvenir home.

Camping is absolutely free with your festival admission! Kids 12 and under are also FREE! Don’t leave them at home.

Pets are not allowed because of inherent dangers from wildlife or getting lost in the surrounding wilderness. but if you have a horse, they have a place for you to tether out and camp beside.
