Looks like I could possibly be a *maybe* if I can catch a lift from someone. I'm sending the kids to Georgia for a couple of weeks and have to figure out something to do with myself.

Crispy will be in attendance ? (Adds more bacon to shopping list) :bouncey:


Yes he will! He just let me know a day or so ago. We're pumped, since we haven't seen him in a year now!

Not entirely sure how they park RVs, but I'm pretty sure there is a hookup or two along the tree line. Plus, you need to know this, from the Bears Den forum:

ANY TYPE of RV (Class A, B, C or tow along trailer or pop-up) will be charged $50 for an RV pass on entry.
This is a charge the from the venue and is paid directly to them and not the festival.

Sorry for any inconvenience... see you at the festival.

fyi ... VW Van is not considered an RV.

I can go as far as Connecticut on my own- past that I'm just not comfortable with this vehicle. So...who needs a rider and/or gas money? :gingersnap:

I'd offer space in my vehicle but, there wouldn't be a seat and/or area to sit in and I have no air-conditioning in my van...so I don't have the room :(

Thank you, I dont mind paying the $50 at all as long as they have electric.

I know it's there, but I'm not certain of the deal with it. Guess I'd advise arriving earlier than later and being really cool to the staff. Sme real kind folks work there and I'm sure you'll get taken care of. :smile:

I got an email response from a guy named Ben from A Bears Picnic. He says there are hookups for RVs, They are first come first serve. He also said If you bring a long extension cord they will do anything possible to make sure you get electric. So, we are in for sure. August is getting better and better Peach Fest on the weekend of the10th & A Bears Picnic the next weekend :rockon:

Doors open on Thurs at 6 pm for $10 earlybird entry. Not sure how late though. Last year it was until sundown. But I am sure all this is flexible.

Sundown might be an issue since I'm arriving between 1-4am Friday early morning. Looks like I'll have to hotel it up for the night or find a legit way in through other channels.

I would bet you can set up camp in the field across the street where the overflow campers are and then come in Friday am. Even if you stay there it's a short walk.

Not sure if it because I am not "in the loop" or it was legitimately full already, but last year we were sent across the street in "overflow" even though we got there at 6:30 on Thursday evening.

I don't think I will be able to go because of a new job. But you guys have to do me a favor:

Look for the white cop car. You can't miss it. It looks exactly like a white, unmarked cop car. Look for the long haired hippie driving it and tell him you all took a vote and he has to leave because his car freaks people out.
