Our current situation with RV’s is as follows—We cleared a small lot directly across the street from the event grounds for RV’s. The price of an RV lot pass is $220 in advance, as we are providing security for the RV lot for the duration of Chilifest. No hookups will be provided. The lot is located across 3058 from the event grounds. We will allow you to bring an RV and park in the RV lot anytime before 11:00 p.m. Thursday, March 31st. If you arrive anytime after the allotted time, you will not be allowed to park in the RV parking lot. Any RV’s brought in on that Friday will not be allowed in, NO EXCEPTIONS.
