WhedonFest will be held at Barefoot
Republic, near Scottsville, KY the weekend of August 5th through August 7th.
This non-profit, handicapped-accessible campground is managed from Nashville,
and centrally located to Nashville, Louisville and Knoxville. There are
comfortable treehouse-style cabins, a paintball field (for our second annual
re-enactment of the Battle of Serenity Valley), and river access for those
interested in kayaking or canoeing. The delicious meals are prepared or
planned by the many talented cooks on our staff.
The weekend plan (still very much in progress) will include:
- Friday
night dinner and welcome activities
- Saturday
breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Sunday
brunch
- Saturday evening shindig
with the dinner
- Saturday
night Serenity screening
- a variety
of workshops, discussion groups, activities, and presentations
- a raffle
and/or auction of great prizes
- a costume
contest
- a paintball
game (or two, depending on interested participants)
We’d love to hear suggestions, ideas, desires, and comments from you, the attendees:
- What discussion
or workshop topics would you most like to have available?
- Would you
be interested in watching or participating in a talent show?
- Are there
any other activities you think should be included?
Registration
Levels
Due to the charity nature of this event, it
would be cost prohibitive to hire sufficient people to run the entire weekend, so
we ask that all our adult guests volunteer for a helper position during the course
of the weekend. These will be arranged in 2 hour shifts and will cover a variety
of areas, duties, and abilities, with sign up sheets available upon your arrival.
You may arrive on site any time after 3pm
on Friday, August 6th. We ask that all guests, except those volunteering
for final cleanup, plan to leave the site by 3pm on Sunday.
Pre-registration is now closed... attendees are welcome to register upon arrival (door prices apply)
