“Pets are limited to cats, dogs, and
non-livestock birds, a minimum of 6 months old, with proof of
current rabies vaccination. Proof must show an expiration date and
can either be mailed with the pre-registration or presented at gate
upon arrival. We want you to stay, but the Park rules won’t
let your pet in without the proof of vaccination! This policy was
set by the Parks Department.”

  fermentation but lacks distillation (Eg. Beers, wines, and meads
  are OK, but cordials, infusions, and whisky are not). A competitor
  may enter the same brew in both competitions. There will be a
  Battle of the Best Brews (whose brew tastes best?)
  and a Brewing Arts and Sciences Throw Down (This
  competition is for the hard core recreationist brewer) as well as
  an overall competition. For more information,
