Benefit concert for local fire departments after Cloverdale Fire

Babcock explained it is a camping event or the public can buy single day passes. On July 9, the day after camper registration, they kick things off with their show n’ shine and a test flex competition as well as the opening of the beer tent. The next day is the concert and an event called Mayhem in the Mud, where vehicles can sign up to go through the mud pit. July 11 is family day where the mud pit will be open for free play. There will be many carnival games and food trucks as well.

In addition to the concert a portion of the money made from Jeepfest will go towards helping the fire departments. Babcock said they also gave them free tickets to attend the concert.

“We’d like them to come up on stage so we can honour them and let them know we appreciate the hard work that they do with very limited gear,” he said. “We’re going to make it a really good day for them as best as we can for them and their family’s and everybody else that can attend. It’s not just Jeeps it’s for everybody, it’s very family oriented.”

For those interested in attending weekend passes can be bought online for $300 which includes camping and gets you into all weekend activities. Day passes range depending on which events you plan on attending and how many people are in your group from $60 to $80.

“We’re greatly appreciative for the support we’ve gotten this year,” he said. “It’s probably our biggest year for sponsorship and we’re just really appreciative for the community support. We hope that we can bring a great event to the local community that everybody can join,” he added.
