Countdown to the Festival - A Little Housekeeping

As I write this blog on the Monday before the festival, those of us who are here in the office or setting up the fairgrounds are in the home stretch. We know that you're all busy, too, packing up your bags and highlighting your schedules. Here are a few pieces of information that you should know:

1. If you need to contact us during the festival, here's how: There is no phone number to call the festival site. All issues must be dealt with at the gate when you arrive or must wait until after the festival. If you have a ticket issue, most likely it can be dealt with at the gate. If you have an urgent need to reach someone at the festival, contact the Trumansburg Police at 607-387-6505, and they will contact our gate crews directly, who will then do what they can to get the information to the necessary parties. We do not check the blog comments, our email addresses, or the facebook page during the festival.

2. It looks like this year might be a bit of a scorcher. Please remember to bring sunscreen, cool clothing, hats, even parasols, and when you're here, drink plenty of water. You're welcome to bring your own water in, and you can also bring refillable water bottles -- there is a public spigot with clean water that runs in the lawn near the kids' area.

3. DON'T FORGET YOUR TICKETS, CAMPING PASSES, ETC. We cannot replace these for you if you arrive without them.

4. Be safe on your travels here! We can't wait to see you!

The office is open until 5:00 pm on Wednesday, July 20 -- if you have questions, it's a great idea to get them taken care of now!
