HELP!!!!!
A new issue/twist.
One of the coordinator's wives spoke with a representative from the Native American group that's coming. Apparently, the number of 500 people coming was incorrect. They said to plan on closer to 2400-2500 /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
So, a bunch of logistic things need to change, obviously in volume. A couple things are too late to add (like killing more buffalo for burgers and stuff) but everything else just got stepped up.
A couple new questions.
What is an appropriate ration of porta-potties to attendees? I've heard everywhere from 1-40 to 1-100. Any advise? We will have separate mens/womens.
It sounds like the Native American troupe that's coming is on a summer-long venture and travel across the country doing these events. We're now expecting somewhere around 100+ campers. I haven't been able to find out specifics yet, but what is the likelihood that these are self-sufficient campers? The area where they'll be parked is about 800' to the closest place that has electric and we won't be able to get electric to them from that source. If they do need electric, we're now on generators. We have a few 7000w generators if we really need them but do we need some 20Kw generators? Any idea how much to rent them for a weekend?
Larry - As it works out, the town that the event will be held in doesn't care for fireworks. We're not going to give them a "heads up" until last minute. One of the coordinators is friends with a neighboring towns fire chief and it looks like they'll send a truck out for us.
Dave - We have approx. 2700 bales available. Thanks. We'll pull them out if/when needed.
Moon - Good idea but the group that's coming also brings their own vendors. I'm pretty sure they don't want us to offer much more than food. The profits from their vendor sales is what helps pay for them to travel everywhere to do these events.
California - I like the attachment. I made up about 40 different signs (everything from parking to directions, no smoking, keep away from ele. fence...).
