Driving a short distance will be required to get to some/most locations
The Fairgrounds area where we’ll convene is a flat lawn area with very little shade (see “Things to Bring” below). We’ll have 10 picnic tables, 5 Eight foot tables for sign ups and staff use, a very small stage, and a PA system.

Groups will be asked to protest for around two hours (maybe a bit more…maybe a bit less based on turn out) and then return to the fairgrounds for letter writing, to receiver information about the closures in the DEIS, sign a petition and more that could come up between now and the event.
