Come On Out And Be A Happy Camper!

     Hey folks!  The TallGrass Music Festival is proud to announce that our new website is now up and running!  It's a beautiful new site, done by the talented Tracy Blair.  If you haven't yet, go check it out.  Lots of great info, pics, and links to buy your tickets.  Also, the website is the place for you to go and get your early bird tickets, which you can access here.  Its a great deal (all three days of the festival for $20) that you can only get for the rest of this month, because as of May 1st it will go back to the normal price.  So hurry on over and order your tickets, and take a few minutes to browse the site as well!

    So, with the festival just shy of 8 weeks away, all of us here at TallGrass headquarters are working hard to iron out all the last minute details.  Which really means we are just 5 weeks away from the crying and name-calling, but none the less, it's going to be another great festival this year!
     Did you come out and camp with us last year?  If so, we'd love to see and share some of your camping pics.  Email them to me here.  Here are a few of mine from last year; not a bad turn-out.


Happy Campers as far as the eye can see.  And that was just what we CAN see! 



A great bird's-eye-view of the stage and seating area.  How did she get photos with such phenomenal aerial views you ask?  Well it was all thanks to a dedicated and determined TallGrass board member who gave it not a second thought of fear, height or danger......when he asked me to get into the lift of that bucket truck..  Viva la musica!


     If you have never camped at a music festival (especially ours!) then you have been missing out!  The camping is personally one of my favorite parts of the festival.  During the day, while the festival is in full swing, the camp grounds are a quiet place to come back to and relax between bands.  And after the stage has gone quiet for the evening, its where the more laid back part of the festival continues.  There is generally picking and relaxing, and good conversation. Whether you play an instrument or not, its something to experience.  And the only way to have access to this, is to come out and be one of our campers this year! 

     If you are on the adventurous side and would like to tent camp, the spots are $3.00 a day.  If you are a little more for the "easy-living" side and do all your camping in an RV, then the spots are $15.00 a day.  There are dumping spots available for RV campers on the grounds.  Camping spots, water, and electric are on a first come-first serve basis, so don't waste any time getting out to get a spot!  You can pay online for tent camping or for RV camping, or pay at the gate with check or cash.  (no cards can be taken at the gate)

     Don't forget to send me your camping pics from last year, if you have some, at this address.  Hope to see you all out on the campgrounds this year!
