Stop at Registration Booth: All cars must STOP at the registration booth upon entering the site, and again every single time you re-enter the site. You must stop to have every person in your car checked in (again). Absolutely NO ONE will be permitted to enter the site for any length of time whatsoever without having properly registered and paid. Anyone caught doing so will be immediately escorted from the site. If you are bringing something to someone already on-site, they will need to meet you at the registration booth. If someone is paying for you later, you cannot enter until your admission is paid by them. This rule is *not* negotiable.

Early Arrivals: Please plan to arrive on *Thursday* at noon or later! My staff and a few vendors who need to set up early are allowed to arrive on Wednesday with prior permission. The gate will be locked prior to Thursday at noon, and any people who want to arrive before that time **MUST MAKE PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS** and must pay $10/person/day at the gate upon arrival. Keep in mind that Moondance starts THURSDAY at noon (and *ends* on Sunday at noon) - people arriving early put a drain on electricity, propane, gas, water, etc., plus just make it hard for the site owners to do their mowing and maintenance.

Friday: Classes and workshops begin on Friday morning; we will have a drum circle that night

Saturday: Classes and workshops continue. We'll top off the evening with live music, a ritual, and a drum circle

Sunday: The site closes Sunday at 12:00 noon EDT. ALL PEOPLE MUST BE OFF-SITE BY 3:00 PM ON SUNDAY!!! We'll need people to help clean up, starting early that morning.

Don't Park in the Roadways: Most of the roads at Cherokee Farms are pretty obvious and are easy to keep clear. But some of the roads, especially through the woods, are rather narrow. ALL ROADS MUST BE KEPT CLEAR ALL WEEKEND!!! This is so emergency vehicles (i.e., large fire trucks) can get in and out. If roads are not kept clear, cars will be towed! A worst-case scenario is that the fire folks could shut the whole festival down. Very bad news. So do your part, and keep your cars and tents out of these narrow roads.

Driving Around On-Site: You can drive in most anywhere to unload, but then you must go park your car in the parking area. Do NOT use your car as transportation on-site during the festival.

Electricity for RVs & Campers: There are maybe four hookups in the main front field for RVs and campers for electricity *only* (no water or sewage); I don't know if the system will handle air conditioning. All these hookups must be reserved and paid for ahead of time. Apart from these few limited hookups, non-vendor RVs and campers MAY NOT PLUG IN to the electrical grid - not at the reg booth, not at the Stage, not at the Pavilion - not anywhere - especially to run AC. The system as a whole is just not built to handle it. Vendors with RVs or campers may plug in if the electricity fee is paid, but this is only for lights and small appliances (absolutely not for air conditioning).

Camping Areas: You can pretty much camp anywhere, except where the vendors are, on the flat area where the Pavilion and the main fire circle are located, the stone circle in front of the showers, and in Smokey's front yard. All other areas are public domain and are up for grabs, but please ASK before you set up next to someone else, in case they have that area set aside for their group. There is a large map at the registration booth and one in the schedule booklet, so you can find the camping and parking areas.

Places NOT to Park: ALL cars must be moved to the parking area after unloading: the only exception is vendors with prior permission to park at their booths (these vehicles are anchored for the duration of the festival). DO NOT park your car in a no-parking area, then leave it for any length of time! If you must park your car temporarily somewhere (as to unload), leave your keys in the ignition so we can move it in an emergency.

Fire Safety: Use common sense with your campfires and tiki torches. After battling a forest fire at a previous festival, we're a bit paranoid about fires. If you light a fire, stay with it. If you light a fire, stay with it. Keep a fire extinguisher or bucket of water by your fire at all times. Rake away all leaves and debris from around the fire. DO NOT build up a big, roaring fire and leave it! (Leaving a small fire or bed of coals for a short time is okay.) Be sure that tiki torches are not close to overhanging limbs, and are not placed where they will light a tent on fire if they fall over.

Firewood: The firewood at the drum circle is FOR the drum circle. If you plan to have a fire at your campsite, PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN FIREWOOD! You may also pick up downed wood on-site.

Herald Patrol: We'll have heralds circulating the festival grounds with walkie-talkies throughout the weekend, making announcements, checking for unattended fires that might be a safety hazard, reminding people to move their cars after unloading, making sure the roadways are kept clear, and basically watching for problems that need reporting to the Security personnel These heralds are essential please volunteer for a shift when you arrive!
