Sarah,
Check these links. There are a ton of local bands that do this kinda gig.

Chris and I were talking about this last night...

Why not take the money that is being donated for the band, and donate it to one of the 4WD land use groups...Blue Ribbon Coalition???

Im just thinking with all the recent trail closures, maybe it can help fight the battle.

Thanks for the links. Just thought we could have some fun, get the enthusiasm up, and have people coming back for more next year.

Its a dilemma. Sometimes you have to put the horse in front of the cart, but I think I have to go with Tam on this one. I think the people that are planning to help out there would like to have some entertainment but would understand the money being needed to, errr, fight the good fight, so to speak. If this event comes off well, I'm sure next year will be just as good and we can get someone to play out there for us then. I actually know the members of "Killin Time", but, 1. they are hardcore country and 2, it's short notice to get them or anyone to play, especially outside venues.

If its not the Atomic Punks then the money should get donated. Just because there is room in the budget for it, doesnt mean it needs to get spent. Donate it back.

Whoa...before we hang the messenger let's discuss Sarah's request

As the flippin' "jack of all trades master of none" organizer, I asked Sarah to find a local band on the high desert to entertain ya'll. Now, first things first aight...I want to clarify that WE as participants are giving a whole helluva lot just by participating. Secondly, BLM will be receiving in excess of hundreds of thousands of dollars from grants generated by our little get together in Calico. Third, Sarah merely sought out a band to see if they would first volunteer their talent under the crisp evening air after our worthwhile raffle. If not, we as a committee will entertain the thought of releasing a few bucks for entertainment or simply hook up some toons to keep the mood up beat.

I will be the first to share exactly how much we donate to Blue Ribbon Coalition, Friends of the Rubicon, and Discovery Trails. I can assure you that our event shirts, lunch, and other expenses far out weigh the cost of a band.

Now if ya'll party poopin' folks wanna try and forward or help us out with a little country bumpkin' entertainment, I'd be very grateful.

Regards,
Your Huckleberry

yikes!

Thats not what we meant by that. We just didnt want any additional funds spent on OUR behalf. By all means, if you think that you can get a band to volunteer, then do it.

We keep hearing about local trails and areas being shut down, and some of can only donate time, not money. So if it meant doing without a band for an event that we are donating our time at, so be it, if it will help the cause.

As far as contributions to the non profits, I was totally in the dark that this event was raising any monies.

Do what you feel will best benefit our community.

I think all the sponsers of the event have donated for the intrest of the event and for all excess funds to go to the Land. Having a band would be a killer idea, we just would not want any of the funds donated for the cleanup used. I feel if we do get a band that should be pointed out as someone could easily get the wrong idea.

Ps. where are you guys camping that weekend, we are still trying to figure out a spot that may not be to crowded. I do not know how many rigs are camping from Adventure4x4, but I believe it is around 8.

The dilema we have is large sponsors that have donated $$$$ to make this event a success. I won't tell Banks Power or any other vendor that contributed a big chunk of change that their ideas and suggestions are not worth entertaining or at a minimum considering. Yup, this event is generating funding for those organizations that I believe best suite our needs in the off road community. I'll also have a donation jar specifically for land use.

Eitherway, I'd prefer a volunteer group to come up play some tunes but it's really short notice at this point. Maybe adventure4x4 could provide cheap entertainment?

No offense intended or taken, Tam. No harm, no foul!
