If those both become full, please park at the Conifer High School and grab a shuttle to get you over. PLEASE no parking along Foxton Rd - we need to keep it open for emergency vehicles.

Along with the Conifer Community Church, we are sponsoring the Walk For Freedom with Dr. Jeff. For a $10 donation, you can walk in his "shoes" (kidding, it's optional, and we definitely recommend trying it for a little bit, but you don't have to) and learn more about his work. You'll get a water bottle from us, and a cool tote bag from the Conifer Community Church for taking the journey.

We're proud to help sponsor this event, and be involved in something that emphasizes fitness!

I'm a big bluegrass fan- and I'm wondering if this is like the Keystone beer and bluegrass where the price of admission also includes the sampling of the beers?

Is the beer included?

No, I'm afraid it's not. The Conifer Chamber of Commerce is running the beer and wine tent for us, and they had to purchase the alcohol at cost from Biggie Liquors (thank you to Biggie's for sponsoring our VIP Tent too!) and they have to sell it back so they don't lose money. The profits they make will partly come back to JOY International, and the rest go toward other events like the OktoBEERfest and the Christmas Parade that the Chamber is hosting this year.

If you like bluegrass, then this is the event to come to! :thumbsup:

Thanks.
