IN THE PASTURE: We have two beautiful concert stages in the pasture. Our Stage Team and awesome
Sound & Light Engineers work together all weekend to keep the music flowing & sounding terrific!
Since we will have THREE FULL DAYS & NIGHTS of live music here at the ranch, we will likely be
able to perform approximately 85+ songs on The Grid through the weekend. This will partially
depend on the weather being favorable, although the live music will continue "rain or shine".
-------------------------------------------
FOOD, DRINKS, ETC: A healthful country breakfast buffet will be served from 8:00am until 9:00am on both
Friday & Saturday morning, as well as a light continental breakfast on Sunday morning. We will also have
four food trucks on the property with a terrific selection of food and beverages from Noon until 9pm.
Bottled water, coffee & tea will be available at no cost throughout the Event. And we will have a
Licensed Bartender serving alcoholic drinks however you are welcome to bring your own.
*** If you have any special dietary needs, please let us know in advance. ***
-------------------------------------------
COST: There is one single gate fee of $95 per person for the entire THREE DAY live music event. Your gate pass
includes a healthful home cooked breakfast buffet each morning, prepared by our griddle & food service team.
Your gate fee helps us to recover a percentage of the costs involved, including..... food, beverages, band fees,
equipment rental, sound fee, lighting fee, seating, electricity, sanitary facilities, dumpster & septic services.
For those of you staying at the ranch in an RV, there will be a ONE TIME $40 FEE PER RV (not per day)
This will help us to cover our costs of fertilizing & reseeding the rear cow pasture after the event.
This one time fee covers you whether you stay with us for a day, or an entire week! Not a bad deal.
-------------------------------------------
TRAVEL & HOTEL: The best way to get here from Tampa Airport is to take Uber, Lyft, Taxi or other car service.
If you are renting a car, we're really easy to find, just be sure you have GPS, or call us for the best directions.
We are 35 miles north of the Tampa Airport via the Suncoast Parkway. For hotel accommodations, we
recommend the Hampton Inn on US19 in Spring Hill which is very reasonable, clean, and nearby.
-------------------------------------------
CAMPING: For those who have inquired about tent camping.... you are very welcome to stay with us at NO
additional charge! We have 20 acres to stake out a campsite. We will also provide tents & sleeping bags
for your use at NO additional charge. And we will help you procure an RV if you need help with that.
