Organizers are unpaid. Most of the people who volunteer to make this event a reality still purchase weekend tickets.
This is a big party we all make happen and we are grateful to everyone who pitches in however they can! We’d never be able to put on such a great party without the help of a LOT of people who freely give their time to make it happen!

But…. Who DOES GET PAID?

Bands and musicians hired to play
Talent is our biggest expense by far!

Sound and Stage production folks

work a LONG HARD DAY

The Ranch


The Stage Company

dropoff/setup/teardown/remove

The porta potty company

Occasionally someone finds a terrible job at the event then
works long and hard and we choose to pay them.
