When – January 20,2018 Camping available the night of 1/19 and/or 1/20. Camping will be on a first-come, first- served basis. Please DO NOT camp in the immediate area of a competition station (see maps).
Where – Hodge Park Athletic Field NE 96th St. & NE Reinking Rd.
This is a new location with new rules. No ground fires; they should be contained and off the ground . Vehicles MUST park on the paved area. Straight in or back in – no parallel parking. This will require trucks towing trailers to unhitch. There are over 300 parking spots. You should be able to find parking near or adjacent to your camping area. I have appointed “Parking Czars” to enforce this. If necessary, we will deduct competition points. We will have 600 gallons of water. But it is strongly suggested that you bring water with you. Do not rely solely on the water at the event.
Register in advance or on-site upon arrival. $8.00 per attendee. No unit fee this year. Please bring a check as credit cards will not be accepted on-site. Advance registration up to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 1/17: rmd.me/NDZLxFQU3ak
