Q: What is Lammas and why are you celebrating it?
A: Click here for a detailed description of Lammas
Q: Why are their images of hawk strewn throughout the site?
A: Well there is a story behind it, in two parts actually. First part here. The other part is that the LammasFest Committee and event both provide support to the Raptor Advocacy, Rehabilitation, and Education (RARE) group, which cares for and rehabilitates injured raptors (birds of prey). The Red Tailed Hawk is a raptor and we have supported a Red Tailed Hawk since the beginning of LammasFest and will continue to do so as long as we are able.
Q: Am I able to vend at this event?
A:Absolutely, use our Vendor Registration to sign up.
Q: What are quiet hours?
A: Over the years as we have done the event in the same location and the Army Corp of Engineers has allowed us to extend quiet hours as the campground is fairly secluded. Quiet hours are usually extended to Midnight (normal is 10pm).
