Venue
Located
at the north end of Buffalo, Wyoming, the Johnson County Fairgrounds
feature
a unique and inspiring venue for the acoustic, americana, folk,
old-timey,
bluegrass & traditional music featured at the Big Horn Mountain
Festival.
Within a short distance of the fairgrounds sits the town of Buffalo,
known
for its small-town hospitality and Western flair. Come dance the
weekend
away at the foot of the beautiful Big Horn Mountains.
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.
Pancake Breakfast
There will be a pancake
breakfast Saturday and Sunday morning in the Community
Building.
The price is right, the cakes are good, and it's a fund raiser for our
local SKILLS USA Club. So come on by for a cup of coffee and
some
griddle cakes.

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.
Festival Rules
and
Etiquette
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 are
strictly prohibited
in the festival area and in the horse show area. 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.
Wristbands
Must be worn in campground
and festival areas at all times.
Glass
No glass containers
in festival areas. Please monitor your camp so there are no
accidents.
Other
Please help us keep
the area clean; picking up your trash and cigarette butts will be
greatly
appreciated.
Obstructing views
Again, we are all
here to enjoy the performances. Please do not block your
neighbor's
view with umbrellas or other large items.
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
Fun
We hope you enjoy
this festival, and we welcome your suggestions to make it even better
next
year!
WELCOME
TO THE BIG HORNS!!!
