The field next to Shelter 3 has areas with shade and open sun, is flat, and has parking areas around it. Dumping any chemicals or waste other than trash for the trash bin is not permitted. There is only one electric outlet that must be shared with various guilds. We plan to provide a propane stove for hot water if needed.
If you work on a craft, come join us. Please fill out this form if you want to come do your craft at guild hall, so we reserve space for your work. We encourage any guilds to work on individual or group projects, to give demos, and to provide make and take projects. You should include information on the form about what your are doing and if you will charge a materials fee for people to participate. Guilds should bring pop-ups, tables, chairs, and other materials for crafting.
