At move in we maybe faced with two unmovable fences front and back on our 20X40 spaces

Like we were in 2010 The local authorities insisted on greater level of security 

Having a site plan that allows you to cooperate with you neighbor in placing your RVs

by combining your 20X40s into 40X40s and working together to share the space is wise

If we are faced with this again I wasn't told last year until load in started

Thom, is the picket fence also immovable during load-in, or can it temporarily be moved to park the RV?

[Thom Emery]

There is no guarantee the picket fence can be moved 

I would bet on NOT moving it 

 

[Thom Emery]

One per team just like last year 

 

[Leslie Klinke]

Hi Thom,

1. Do you have a site map for the teams yet. If I park my Motorhome right on the back line will I have room to get compartment doors open?  

    It will be posted soon I do not have it yet

2. Are you providing fork and napkins for PC or Just Cups?

     Just the cups are provided

3. Will each teamm recieve there 1000 cups all at once or will it be 500 per day?

      Probably 1000 on Saturday early  AM 

4. Are you providing Ice, if so how much? If not can it be bought on site and what is the cost and quanity?

        The entry form stated 2 20 pound bags of ice I believe correct me if I am  wrong

         Yes more is available It was $5 for a 20 pound bag in the past 

          Costco is just a few miles away on Hwy 111

          Sams is about 13 miles away at the Monterey exit off I10

          Overnight RV parking is allowed at this Sams          Thom

[Thom Emery]

Meat inspection for the Sunday Contest will be on Saturday 

I would NOT plan on leaving the festival Saturday  to buy meat for the Sunday contest

Bring it with you when you come to town 

 

[Pete Lent]

Thanks, last question (I hope, but doubt it  :-)  )  Will potable water be available nearby the BBQ area?

[Thom Emery]

I am told yes

We may have to string a number of hoses together to reach 

There will be sinks so there has to be water 

[Dale Ginos]

Standard as in KCBS or standard as in IBCA?  Greens, no greens, particular greens? 

[Thom Emery]

This is a KCBS contest we will use KCBS rules

[Thom Emery]

I have not heard about any changes to our previous 4 years set up with out 

screen walls If you have em bring em the HD works in mysterious ways 

They were required at Palm Springs that was the first time we were asked

to get them in here in the Coachella Valley
