Special Event:
For the first time in event history we will have a second event on Sunday! More info coming soon (last year’s sticker is a clue).
Attendance was so great last year (133 Elements!) we expect a large turnout again this year (my guess is 250!!!).

Dinner is available from the campground at 6pm(more food info coming soon). There will also be an awesome party that everyone is invited to, after dinner! Join the beverage swap and bring a 6 pack from your local brewery to share with others!
This is a pet friendly event, but we insist pets be leashed and supervised at all times. This area is at elevation, with many twists and turns along the route. Keep this in mind when deciding to bring your fur babies. The campground is pet friendly.

I know you guys have been anxiously awaiting the food options for this year, and I am so proud to say that I locked it down! We have three options! I tried to accommodate everybody’s dietary restrictions so I’ve worked with the vendors on menus (which will be available as soon as I finalize). Our vendors are all going to come in on Friday and stay till Sunday. Chef Mark is going to take care of breakfast and vegetarian options. Hit the Pit will be doing what they do best, BBQ for lunch and dinner. And We 2 Bake is handling sweets and treats, with a vegan and dairy free option additionally. They will also be making us custom Element cookies. I’m really stoked! Stay tuned for the menu updates. I’ll post them in the comments of this discussion topic when they are available.
