As far as "partnering up" no one in rainbow has the authority to endorse or condemn your gathering on behalf of the entire family.
I did take a look at your page and noticed y'all have a lot of rules you're attempting to impose, most people (especially those living on the road) are not gonna leave their dogs and children behind to attend an event they've never heard of that has a strict anti-drug policy.
You state "All are welcome" and then on the same page say no dogs or kids or people on drugs are allowed. I wish you the best and hope y'all have a grand ole time, but "partnering" with rainbow isn't gonna happen.
I figured the vague response was due to an authority thing.
No biggie.
As for rules, if you read them, you also read that the fest is being held on state-owned property.
It's a state park. Oh and maybe you caught the part about a cop living on the grounds.
Maybe not.
Either way, I'm trying to warn people, don't come with it on you.
I have one friend that informed me she's smoking before she comes and will be high as a kite.
I told her to get high for me too, just don't have any of it on her, just in case.
As for no kids and no dogs...not sure about what part of a one day, few hours event wasn't clear, so let me specify - just so there's no qiestion- nothing for kids to do, nothing for dogs to do.
My dog is my life, but if she's going to be hot and bored (and she will) then it's not fair to her.
Seems like common sense to me. Shrugs.
Anyway...I saw a caveat on the Rainbow site about dogs, as well, though they are welcome.
One day, when my event grows to a full weekend then everyone can come and make their own merriment.
Until then, for a 4-5 hour event, people aren't going to expect to have to entertain themselves.
Oh and let me clarify the everyone is welcome (as I thought that was pretty clear too, but maybe I'm expecting to much from people) whether you're homeless and stink, whether you're a yuppie that thinks all us hippies are cool and want to jump on the fad, or you're simply down on your luck and need a free meal, you're welcome to join us.
But, thanks for letting me know that what I thought was easily understandable for everyone, apparently isn't so clear for others.
I'll probably end up changing the wording so that it's simple, for everyone.
If you make it to the Rainbow gathering, enjoy.
