DripFest 7 - Oct. 25th 2014 - Hibernia Park, Coatesville, PA

Letterman7

Is now officially set. October 25th, Saturday, at Hibernia Park's Fiddler's Field. Camping will be available from Friday night through the weekend, so you can stay the entire time if you wish. Jim Nolan and I are still hammering out details of course, but more updates will be forthcoming. We will still need volunteers for the show for parking, set-up / take-down, clean up and miscellaneous. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Excellent news, do you have a website for details and directions [you should use dripfest.com again].

This is great news, indeed. Michele and I camped both fri and sat nites last year in the bus - absolutely wonderful park and best wooded camping area ever - well worth camping the whole weekend, but man was it a cooker!!

Thank you for that! Yes, that was one of the reasons to move it late in the season. I know for the die-hard campers it won't be a big deal with the (hopefully) much cooler weather, but it should make the show more enjoyable. We will have more information in the next few weeks with how to register, directions and whatnot. There will be live music again this year with most of the bands that played last year on the stage back again. I think they had as much fun as the show attendees!

Music will be provided by some of the last years' bands. Food and drinks provided by the Friends of Hibernia. We'll try to set the Porto-Pots a little more user friendly for the campers this time!

any thoughts on a friday night cruise to dinner or sunday morning breakfast?

Bump to the top - only three weeks to go. And judging by last nights temps... campers better pack some blankets!

Campers need to be there before sunset. The park closes the gates then and throws a lock on it. You will be provided the combination if you get there late or need to leave for some reason during the night. Bring a flashlight. I will have the combination later this week - please PM me for the information if you're camping.
Gates will open in the morning around 7A. If they are not open by the time I arrive, please park as far off the road as practical.

As far as an evening cruise or Sunday breakfast.. lots of places to choose from. There is a funky 50's style diner in Honey Brook if you're into that!

Friends of Hibernia should have some basic breakfast foods on Saturday - donuts, coffee and hot chocolate. The grill will be available for those who want to cook their own hot breakfast - you'll need your own hardware (skillets, spatulas, etc.).

We need volunteers to aid in cooking throughout the day to relieve others (figure a couple hours each), clean-up at the end of the day (collecting trash receptacles and bags), parking and directions - I will have some Boy Scouts to help with traffic control.

Please PM me for interests!

Will food sold be the usual burgers/dogs etc?

That's the plan unless it rains. Then the grill stays covered Laughing

Pre-show planning meeting this coming weekend (18th/19th) for all interested in helping out. PM me or post up who has time and we'll set the day, time and location.

Double check on your driving directions that you are following at least one of the roads listed above as there are multiple Park Roads in the area. You will likely be directed to the first Park entrance, which is fine, simply follow the signs to the show field.

Bump to the top. Looks like a perfect fall day lining up! Notes to attendees, pets are permitted, just keep them leashed and cleaned up after. There will be no warnings - your dog runs loose or you don't clean up after, you will be asked to leave. We will have some coffee, hot cider and hot water for tea if anyone wants a warm morning wake-up call. I will be opening the gate at 7A, no need to get there before the sun rises!
