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. There will be no more "Registered Moondance Participants" passes given out, so 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.

Wristbands: Each and every adult, child (except for non-mobile babies), and properly registered dog will get a wristband which must be worn so that it is visible at all times. You will receive ONE wristband only; if yours breaks, you can come to Festival Headquarters (Bio-Buzz vending booth) to have it repaired. If you lose your wristband, you will have to pay full admission fee ($60) again to be allowed to remain on-site. Again, 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 WITH JAMES & RITA (770-258-0863) and must pay $10/person/day at the gate (not to Bob at the barn) upon arrival. Keep in mind that Moondance starts THURSDAY at noon (and *ends* on Monday at noon) - people arriving early put a drain on electricity, propane, gas, water, etc., plus just make it hard for the site managers to do their mowing and maintenance.

Friday: Classes and workshops begin on Friday morning. NO CARS allowed in vendor area in front of stage after 6:00 pm! You can drive around on one of the upper terraces, or come around the back way.

Saturday: Classes and workshops continue. There is a POT-LUCK feast Saturday night; see below for info. We'll top off the evening with music, dancing, and general revelry. Again, NO CARS allowed in vendor/stage area after 6:00 pm or during daytime music performance hours!

Sunday: Classes and workshops continue. That night we'll have an open ritual to celebrate the dance of the seasons, then a Bardic Circle.

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

Don't Park in the Roadways: Most of the roads at Dragon Hills are pretty obvious and are easy to keep clear. But, the road going through the trees at the top of the hill, which then goes down to the sweatlodge area, is 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: Please limit your driving past the Kitchen to the Stage area to unload as cars stir up lots of dust, and this is a pedestrian area. The roadway between the Kitchen and the Stage must be kept clear at all times - NO PARKING HERE EVEN TO UNLOAD! (You can park on one of the terraces.) No cars whatsoever will be allowed on this roadway after 6:00 pm on Friday and Saturday nights or during daytime performance times. This is a pedestrian area, and safety comes first. You may drive on the upper terraces, or around the back side, on the alternate route shown on the map, but the terraces are kind of rough (when crossing a lollybump, hit it at an angle, not straight on). Please respect this route as a road, and keep it clear of cars and tents cars may not be parked in the lower area past the stage. This is for camping and driving only.

Vendor/Stage Area: Remember, NO CARS ALLOWED IN VENDOR AREA IN FRONT OF STAGE AFTER 6:00 pm on Friday and Saturday. Plan for this. We're serious. There are just way too many kids and people walking around in what should be a safe area. You can drive around on one of the upper terraces, or drive around the back way (alternate route on map) if you need to, but be careful of driving over the terraces.

Electricity for RVs & Campers: There are a *very few* hookups at the Great Hall 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 with James & Rita, the site managers (770-258-0863). 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 Great Hall, not at the Kitchen - 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). All RVs and campers must run silently in self-contained mode (no generators!!).

Places NOT to Park: Do NOT park past the Great Hall, and definitely DO NOT double-park behind other cars. The area just above Psycho Corner past the vendor area draws parked cars like flies; please do not park here. In the Weyr and main area (Stage and vendor area and on along the tree line and terraces), 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 (or in the Pavilion), PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN FIREWOOD! You may also pick up downed wood on-site.

Potluck: For the Potluck Feast on Saturday night, if your last name starts with: A-F, bring desserts; G-M, bring appetizers, salads, cheeses, or breads; N-S, bring meat dishes; or T-Z, bring veggie dishes. Please label your dish with all ingredients on an index card so allergies, etc. can be avoided! In addition to your food contribution, bring feast gear plate, bowl, cup, utensils, and SERVING SPOONS for your dish. Disposable feast gear is fine, but please be earth-friendly. You'll also need beverages. Keep your food contribution at your camp until time for the potluck, and plan on cooking your own food, as we don't provide cooking or storage services. PLEASE PUT AWAY YOUR PERISHABLE FOOD IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE POTLUCK!!

Meals:All other meals are provide-your-own; you'll need to bring food and cookware, and grill or campstove (or buy meals from the food vendors). The kitchen is off-limits to participants. There are sinks outside the Kitchen for dishwashing (no hot water, bring your own soap and sponge). Please bring a cooler for your food - there are no storage facilities in the Kitchen for food or drinks.

Food Vendors: Quacker Barrel will be in the Kitchen to provide their yummy food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks) for a reasonable price all weekend. We may also have other food vendors (none confirmed yet). Plan for this, so you don't have to bring too much food of your own if you don't want to.

Water: There is hot and cold running water at the sinks outside the Kitchen for washing (bring your own soap and sponge). You should still plan on bringing some water for your campsite - 3-5 gallons. There is hot water for showers, but please remember the supply is not infinite. One year the propane gas which heats the water was completely used up by someone taking a two-hour long shower; please be considerate in your usage and take SHORT showers! Hot water will be cut off at midnight.

Getting Help: If you need to reach Linda, or any of the Security team, and can't find us, there will be a walkie-talkie at the Kitchen at all times, hanging on a nail above the counter to the right. The security team is headquartered in the huge RV parked beside the Great Hall; festival headquarters is at the Bio-Buzz vendor tent. There are several people on-site who have cell phones in case of an emergency; for all other calls, please go to the corner convenience store and use the pay phone.

Other Legal Stuff: Please be careful about whom you choose to bring to the festival with you, as they may not appreciate the atmosphere, or potentially cause problems. Make sure you know the person well, and can vouch for their good behavior! Along those lines, rules about no illegal substances, theft, threat to or endangerment of others, and other infractions of mundane law will be strictly enforced. Underage drinking (have your ID!), gross drunken behavior, unwanted sexual attention (harrassment), and sexual escapades with someone underage will not be tolerated. Any infracture of these rules will result in expulsion from the festival with no refund, and possible arrest, if appropriate. Parents, watch your kids, especially teenagers, at all times. Finally, Moondance is a private function, and is off-limits to media personnel acting in a professional capacity. This is to ensure confidentiality for our participants.

Emergency Contacts: To contact someone on-site, call James & Rita at 770-258- 0863. I will be at home in Auburn just until the afternoon before the festival begins, and after that time you can leave a message on my cell phone (334-787-9332). I try to check my phone messages and email ONCE A DAY from Thursday-Saturday during festivals, but I can't guarantee that my phone or email will work. Keep in mind that Dragon Hills is in the boondocks. I have to drive up to the barn to get a signal, and my email has been known to go wonky on me before. Therefore, you are free to email or call me, but there is no guarantee I'll get it, and certainly no guarantee I'll be able to respond quickly or at all.

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!
