Groovers and groovettes!
The sacred hour is nearly upon us. We want to thank you for supporting us in our venture to curate radical undulations, and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve got in store. A night of staring at flashing lights and oscillating our ear drums awaits. In anticipation of dancing to like a bajillion songs, the good people of Ranchofest have prepared this pamphlet to help guide you through your spirit quest. As participants in this historic occasion, we ask that you all do your part to create safe and respectful environment. Please be considerate of other’s space and the land on which we have the privilege of dancing. Above all, we encourage all attendants to bring smiles and funky dance moves.
Ranchofest is a DONATION BASED gathering, so any and all help is appreciated. Recommended donation is $20, but feel free to donate more if you want! This ensures we can keep this going for years to come. If you would like to bring a +1, please let the person who invited you know.
