-Sleeping bag/Tent- If you plan on “partying”. Please do not drink and drive!
-Food/Drink to share (if you wish)
-Your positive attitude, and witty charm
-A friend (or two)
*Since Pickathon volunteer slots are limited, volunteering at a work party will not earn you a weekend pass for the festival.
***However***
Folks who volunteer at work parties WILL be given priority for a volunteer position at Pickathon, which WILL get you your weekend pass. Volunteer positions include set-up/tear-down, brew crew, recycling, or other various positions. Pickathon work parties are a great way to make new friends, let off some steam from the work week, become part of the Pickathon/Pendarvis Farm community, help out, and get back to nature. We truly appreciate every drop of sweat that goes into making this festival happen.
Please RSVP for the work party or RSVP to the event on our Facebook page. If you plan on bringing some friends out, please include the number of people and their names (or have them contact us directly), so we can get a head count for party accommodations!
Thank you SO much, and look forward to seeing you!
