•What about outside coolers?
Please no outside coolers/drinks or food.
• I just want to get some food from a food truck do I still have to pay to get in?
Yes, if you’re just there to get food, or to just look at the trucks/tractors, you still need to pay to get in.
• Do I have to pay for parking?
No, parking is free, just the amount at the entry gate.

No, refunds will not be issued. However, tickets can be transferred if you know someone that could go in your place, just forward the email to them.
• Can we sit in/touch the trucks.
Although most people are used to a “touch a truck” event, this is not that type of event. Many drivers put countless hours into washing and polishing their truck to make them show worthy and try and get an award, so please do NOT climb or touch trucks

We have porta-potty bathrooms with hand washing stations throughout the grounds.
