How would you like to have that feel good belly tickle at the festival this year by volunteering in some capacity? The perks are practically endless.

1. You receive a much coveted volunteer T-shirt.
2. You get to party with the other volunteers around the fire pit on July 2nd.
3. You can enter the site earlier than the general public to set up your camp site.
4. You can see your name in print (if not in lights) in the festival program.
5. You have the opportunity to High 5 with some of the finest volunteers ever to set foot on the farm site.
6. The gratitude of a farmer outstanding in his field.

The work varies:

Site Prep: This entails travelling to the festival site prior to the event to beautify the surroundings.

Gate: Greeting festival goers with a smile, taking care of the all important festival paper work and dispensing festival information.

Parking: Assisting festival goers with choosing camp sites and vehicle placement.

Site Clean-up: Assisting in returning Brian’s farm site to pre festival conditions. This takes place over the two or three days following the festival.

If you feel the overwhelming need to lend a hand, please send your contact information to: frannys@telus.net  attention: Fran

Arriving early with your camping gear assures you of a decent spot and helps ease the bottleneck on Friday.

Advance Camping Schedule

Wed. June 27th – Volunteers Only – 4 pm to 10 p.m.
Thu. June 28th – Weekend Passholders – 4 pm to 10 pm
Fri. June 29th – Gates open at noon

Hooray, hooray, the first of May…. ticket options increase today. Advance tickets are now available at Earth’s General Store in Edmonton (9605 – 82nd Ave., 780 439 8725) and at Ravenhill Agencies in Tofield (5109 – 50th Street, 780 662 0330*). Only two months till Ketchamoot rocks!

* Ask for Brenda (there are two). When they ask “which Brenda?” tell them: “whichever one looks lonely today.”

Festival passes are now available via PayPal on this site — just navigate to “Tickets” and follow the trail of crumbs.  Everyone on our mailing list will receive an order form via snail mail in the upcoming weeks;  if you aren’t on our mailing list or didn’t leave us an address on the entry waiver in 2010 (sneaky, huh?), you can request an order form package by contacting us at info@wildoatsandnotes.com.

Campers can pack a little lighter on the food front, and day-trippers may want to skip their hum-drum Cheerios –– the fine folks from Tofield’s United Church will be serving up hot breakfast on both Saturday and Sunday morning at this year’s Oats & Notes.  Wander in to the main yard between 9 AM and noon for the best morning meal this side of Kingman.

Holamigos,

Thanks for checking back in.  Tweaking of this site is ongoing, so it’s worth coming back for a look-see every now and then.  The biggest recent adjustment is that our pricing is set and online purchasing with PayPal is in place and ready to go.

Imagine that.  A farmer using advanced technology.

Yes, that nagging feeling that’s had you flipping pages on your new calendar is correct — this is an ON year for the Wild Oats and Notes festival at the Schultz farm south of Tofield (and west of Bardo). The calendar is kind to us again and allows us music over 3 days… June 29th & 30th, and July 1st. Most everyone has the 2nd off (July 1st is a Sunday), so campers can sleep deeply and enjoy a leisurely trip home.

Confirmed acts to date include: Jesse Dee & Jacquie B; The Big River Band (Johnny Cash tribute); Alice Kos band; Boogie Patrol; Petunia; John Wort Hannam; Bill Durst; JR Shore; The Command Sisters; Jack Dekeyser; Myrol; The Weber Brothers; and of course, the house band — BB & the Backsliders.
