Showcase Stage
The main stage will be located on the north side of the fairgrounds.  Please remember it's festival seating, so bring blankets, chairs and other items to make yourselves comfortable for the show.

Workshops
Will be located in various Fairground buildings.  See the Bulletin Board schedule at the event for the locations.

Saturday & Sunday Breakfast
The Buffalo High School SKILLS USA group will serve breakfast in the Community Building from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday morning and Sunday morning.  Pancakes, sausage, eggs, and bagels will be served.  All proceeds go to the vocational group as a fundraiser for educational activities.  Don’t miss out on this opportunity to assist SKILLS USA and the food will be great!

Weather
While we hope the sun is out and the temperatures are perfect, those of us living in the area know that just about anything can happen in early July.  So our best advice is - Be Prepared - because the show will go on.  Check out your favorite weather website for current weather information.

Restrooms
Permanent restrooms with handicapped access are in the Community Building.  Additional permanent and portable restrooms and hand washing stations will be placed on the grounds

Shade
There are shade trees in the camping area and some others around the edge of the Fairgrounds, and quite a few buildings that you can seek sun relief.  However, much of the fairgrounds is open, so if you are concerned about too much sun, prepare accordingly.


Wristbands
Wristbands must be worn in the campground and festival areas at all times.  As the name implies, wristbands MUST be worn on your wrist.  Lost, stolen, missing, or forgotten tickets will not be replaced so don’t lose them.  Wristbands are non-refundable and non-transferable once affixed and will not be replaced if lost or damaged.

Camping
All vehicles parked within designated camping areas must have a paid camping sticker affixed to the windshield.  Parking space is limited within the camping areas so consider the possibility that your vehicle may be 'locked' in the campground area as camping fills up.  If you are dry camping, consider the possibility of leaving your vehicle in the designated parking areas.  We will not tow vehicles (unless it's missing a camping sticker) if yours is blocked in the designated camping areas.

Alcohol
Alcohol may not be brought in to the festival area from the camping or parking areas.  Our malt beverage vendor  provides a wonderful selection of domestic and craft beer and wine coolers to be enjoyed in the festival.  You may bring your own alcoholic beverages to the camping areas at all times.  Please assist our volunteer security staff by displaying your coolers,  back packs, and other large containers upon entering the festival area.

Obstructing Views/Consideration of Others
No umbrellas, umbrella chairs, or tents are permitted on the festival lawn.  There is plenty of shade available under the new horse barn extensions but be mindful to not block the view of others in the shaded areas, as well.  In the festival seating area, please be considerate of others and keep small talk to a minimum during performances.

Dogs
Our faithful friends are welcome as long as they are on a leash in the camping areas at all times and accompanied by their owners. Dogs and other pets, other than certified guide dogs, are strictly prohibited in the festival area and in areas where other livestock is present.  If your dog barks, we suggest that you contact a local kennel so everyone may enjoy the event; if your dog becomes a nuisance, you may be asked to leave. We hope there are no problems with this, as we would hate to have to ban all dogs in the future.

Smoking
No smoking is permitted in the festival area.  Please help us keep the area clean; picking up your trash and cigarette butts will be greatly appreciated.

Glass
No glass containers are allowed in the festival areas.

Fires
Fires are not allowed in the fairgrounds and a strict fire ban is in place.  You may use the charcoal grills within the campground and camp stoves and lanterns.  Please be sure they are extinguished if you leave your camp area.

Livestock
This is a county fairgrounds, therefore large animals may be on the grounds. PLEASE monitor your kids so they stay away from any livestock.  With the excitement and activity, their behavior (the animals!) may be unpredictable, and we sure don't want anyone injured.

Valuables and Lost & Found
Lock up your instruments and valuables.  Big Horn Mountain Festival, LLC, and the Johnson County Fair Board are not responsible for lost or stolen items.  There will be a lost and found bin at the festival hospitality booth.

Fun
We hope you enjoy this festival, and we welcome your suggestions to make it even better next year!  Be sure to fill out one of our survey forms at the festival hospitality booth.
