It was recommended that I cross-post this here, seeing as how the location picked makes for a reasonable drive from Indiana. I did a zip code to zip code search, and this location is 5.5 hours from Indianapolis. It's not next door to you, but it's sure not on the other side of the world like Black Rock City! :)

I also wish to target Indiana, as a few of my good friends from your home state have come repeatedly to my past events since we started having them in 2002, twice a year. They'd stay the whole weekend and always said it was worth the drive.

It's a Cleveland-based event called "Recycled Rainbow", which started as a decompression house party many years ago, and has grown to an outdoors festival (mainly because we can't fit them in our house anymore!) Attendance is normally anywhere from 30 - 80 people, but now that we're moving it to a campground, many of our veterans won't be prepared for it. I suspect we will lose half our attendance as a result of this move, but the "show must go on" as they say. This is definitely a burner friendly event, and I'm doing what I can to make it an "official" regional burn. Trying to insure the land, get a regional contact present for it, etc.

The location is close to Warren, OH, about 70 minutes from Cleveland, and as I said, about 5 and a half hours from Indianapolis. Bloomington is about one more hour further, so you'd have a 6.5 hour drive.

It is the first regional of sorts that I have ever tried to organize. Looking for helpers, but the real big thing I'm concerned about is getting the word out and bringing in as many burners as we can so we don't lose money on this.

We're looking at probably a $15 ticket price.
Dates: Sept. 28th - 30th

Location:
Hide-A-Way Campground
4063 Eagle Creek Rd
Leavittsburg, OH 44430

The land provides 33 camp sites, all equipped with electrical and water, and there are bathrooms with toilets that flush, and showers. There is an indoor pavilion, and an outdoor stage area, fully equipped with electrical. There is a single entrance, only one way to get in or out.

We'd like to have on hand most importantly, an EMS medic, greeters, and a few volunteers to run the door.

Also need people informed about pyrotechnics, or there may be no burn!

There is a 30 acre clearing on which we can all camp, and many more acres of woods. There is also a fishing pond and a swimming pond (though it may be too cold to utilize either.)

There are no neighbors anywhere near this land for at least a quarter mile, and I will be meeting with those neighbors, plus their local police and fire departments and at least one EMT from their area to discuss this event and what we're doing.

Very much could use your help!

Can I count on any of you to join us? This will be a first for me!

love, everyman
