Q: Can we bring our own food and drinks?
A: YES, yes yes yes yes. Just don't crinkle the wrapping too loudly during the stories! No alcohol allowed.
Q: Do you accept credit cards at the festival?
A: YES, we have a point-of-sale card reader. Cash or checks will be much quicker, but we CAN take credit cards. If possible, bring lots of Ones and Fives!
Q: Kid-friendly? or Library-quiet?
A: During performances, we ask for a very quiet venue. Storytellers are loud and soft, and every word matters. So, we need a QUIET Gym during performances. Not so much during breaks and intermissions.
Q: Is the indoor venue heated? What if it rains?
A: The festival is held INSIDE our Deer Field Gym, so rainy weather is no problem. Dress for the weather. The Gym is heated like a gym, not your living room. If you are cold-natured, and the weather is cold, dress warmly with comfy socks. If the weather is warm, the Gym will be warm.
Q: Are chairs provided, or do I need to bring my own chair?
A: YES padded chairs are provided inside the Gym, which is the venue for the festival (see image below). You may bring your own seat cushion for added comfort. Also, you can bring your own "comfy" chair, but we ask that you sit in the back of the room without blocking existing chair aisles or walkways.
Q: Health, safety, and COVID?
A: This week (March 27-April 1) in Botetourt County, VA, community level is LOW. People may choose to mask at any time. People with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should stay home. If you are immunocompromised, learn more about how to protect yourself. Other on-site protocols include increased ventilation inside the festival venue, increased sanitation, and your option to bring your own chair and sit away from others. See the CDC "Community Levels" site for more information.
Q: I can't come this year. Will 2023 videos be available?
A: Not for 2023. Previous videos (2020-2022) are still available at our "Watch" page with donations encouraged.
Q: Refund protocols?
A: Online ticket purchases are non-refundable, unless we cancel the event. If we cancel the event, we will provide the option for full refunds for all ticket purchases, donations and sponsorships.
Q: Cabins for rent? Or on site camping?
A: YES, see our LODGING ON SITE page for details.
