Here is a video of the famous tarp run.
People sleep in the line to get a number for the morning to enter the festival grounds. Bands will gather on the stage to play "William Tell Overture" while everyone runs for their tarp space for the day. You must have a strategy because if you go to far and there isn't room for your tarp then you have to back up but by that time more tarps have been placed and you could loose ground on a great spot...In 2008, the group graciously taught me the tarp throwing techniques and I had the opportunity to make the run!
In attendance this year: Stella, Philip, Lee, Hyde, Jane, Gaston, Mollie, and Kathryn Carby along with Belinda and Jim Warren.
Check out the lineup.
