	The Owensboro PumpkinFest stage is covered, vibration-free "showmobile" model approximately 32 feet by 14 feet.
	Entertainment does not stop during light rain, however, weather that has the capability to cause damage to equipment or could become dangerous will stop the entertainment until weather passes.
	PA and LIGHTING SPECS:
	The Owensboro PumpkinFest provides a full PA and lighting rig with engineers, which will be used by each act.
	The PA includes full monitor system with four individual monitor mixes (3 front, 1 rear), all needed mics (drums, amps, vocals, etc.) and front-of-house engineer. Main speakers include (but not limited to): (4-6) dual-18"  subs and (4-6)  2-15" + horn full range speakers.

	Bands are asked to bring their own personal equipment (guitars, amps, drums, etc.) and also any specialty equipment needed (wireless mic, PMs, etc.). No backline gear is provided.
	Payments are made by check (not cash).
	RULES AND STANDARDS:
	The Owensboro PumpkinFest is a family event. While the entertainment varies in genre, the same codes of conduct must be followed by each act and will be enforced. We want everyone to perform their show as they see fit; however, due to the nature of this event, these rules must be followed:
	1. While performing, please refrain from any vulgarity that would be considered offensive. This includes, but is not limited to: foul language, obscene gestures, etc. The PumpkinFest committee reserves the right to stop a show if there is a breach of this rule.
	2. We will ask that you be in the stage area-or on the stage-before your scheduled performance time allowing yourself and/or crew time to set up personal rigs (amps, etc). There will be approx. 60 minutes between each act allowing adequate time for set up. There will also be a professional crew working with the sound engineer who can assist in setting up mics, moving gear, etc. You will be contacted about the load in/ load out details prior to the festival. There will be plenty of room behind the stage to assemble drum kits for quicker set up time.
	3. You must be able to perform for 60 to 90 minutes. A complete schedule will be sent to you prior to the event.
	4. We welcome and encourage you to bring recordings, clothing items, and any other merchandise you may have to sell while your band is performing and while the next band is preparing to take the stage. However, once the performer following you is prepared to take the stage we ask that you please cease selling your items in the vicinity of the stage as a courtesy to the other performers and their merchandise crews.
