BORREGO FEST 2018

Welcome everyone!!! It's time to start planning for Borrego Fest 2018. The dates are set for October 5th through October 7th, (Friday, Saturday and Sunday.). This is a family event which will include trail runs, hiking trails, ham radio testing, a potluck dinner, wine tasting and a raffle. We will also have Ham radio demonstrations, and more.

OAUSA depends on the donations from this event, and Summer Fest, to help it stay in operation. Campsite fees, taxes, and website expenses all add up, and OAUSA is comprised of a completely volunteer, unpaid staff. We have done our best to keep the fees reasonable, and ask that all who can, please join us for Borrego Fest 2018.

Here is part of what to expect this year in the Anza Borrego Desert

PLEASE NOTE

Be sure to read this entire post as there are several changes that we have made from past events.

This year marks a big change for us as we are using a new location - Stage Coach Trails Campground. Stage Coach is located a few miles from our old campsite and for those coming from the north, it is about 20 minutes closer. As we left our old camp last year, we couldn't resist the temptation to check out something new. To our surprise and delight, we discovered that Stagecoach had significantly upgraded the entire camp, including the deli, the camp store, and the campsites. The decision was easy. Directions here: viewtopic.php?f=213&t=4186#p33677

HOW TO SIGN-UP

No fee is required if you are only coming out for one day or are making other accommodations outside of Stage Coach Trails Campground. You are still allowed to participate in the trail run meetings, trail runs, special presentations, potluck, and evening festivities each day.

Fees are the same whether you stay for one night or two in the group site. The best and quickest way to pay for the weekend is through the "Donate" button located at the bottom of each page in the Forums. Please post your interest in attending in the format you see below and your name will be added to the roster. "CONFIRMED" will be entered next to your name once your donation has been received.
