Dear Wild Oats & Notes Campers,

Following further review of the festival grounds and current conditions, we are pleased to simplify our previously announced RV and trailer restrictions.

Effective immediately, the weight of your unit will be the exclusive criterion for admission to the camping area. RVs and trailers with a maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 10,000 lbs or less will be permitted.

Please check your unit’s manufacturer’s certificate, compliance label, or weight sticker to confirm its GVW before arriving at the festival.

While the grounds remain saturated and camping capacity continues to be limited, this revised approach allows us to accommodate more campers while continuing to protect the safety of our guests, maintain access throughout the site, and preserve the festival grounds.

Thank you for your continued understanding, flexibility, and support.

We apologize for the multiple messages.

Warm regards,

The Wild Oats & Notes Festival Team

Subject: Important Camping Update Due to Current Ground Conditions

Dear Wild Oats & Notes Festival Campers,

As many of you are aware, our region has experienced an extraordinary amount of rainfall over the past several weeks. In response to the ongoing flooding and saturated ground conditions, both the Town of Tofield and Beaver County have declared States of Local Emergency.

Many families, landowners, businesses, and community members throughout the area continue to be affected by these conditions. As we prepare to gather for Wild Oats & Notes, we ask that everyone keep our neighbours and community in their thoughts and approach this weekend with patience, understanding, and respect.

Following extensive evaluation of the festival grounds, we have determined that only approximately 50% of our normal camping area is currently suitable for use. The ground remains fully saturated, and with a marginal weather forecast ahead, we must take additional precautions to ensure the safety of our guests and the long-term integrity of the site.

It is with a heavy heart that we have made the difficult decision to restrict all RVs and camping trailers to a maximum length of 25 feet. This decision was not made lightly. Larger units place substantially greater loads on the saturated ground and face a significantly higher risk of becoming stuck. In the current conditions, such incidents could create safety concerns, damage the grounds, and impact access for fellow campers, festival operations, and emergency vehicles.

We understand that this restriction will affect plans that have already been made, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Please know that this decision is rooted entirely in our commitment to the safety of our guests, the preservation of the festival site, and our responsibility to operate respectfully within a community that is currently facing significant challenges due to the weather.

We are incredibly grateful for your understanding, flexibility, and support. The Wild Oats & Notes community has always been built on cooperation, kindness, and resilience, and we know those values will shine through once again this weekend.

Thank you for your continued support of Wild Oats & Notes. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing a safe and memorable festival weekend together.
Warm regards,

The Wild Oats & Notes Festival Team

Howdy Folks —

With all the rain lately and a so-so forecast, we wanted to give y’all a quick heads-up about the Wild Oats & Notes festival this coming weekend. We got the crop sown early (phew!), and while we can’t tell the sky what to do, we’re checkin’ the rain gauge every day and keepin’ an eye on things. The show goes on — rain or shine.

A tip from the kinfolk to our west: Range Road 194 (aka Avonroy Road) is in better shape for haulin’ bales — so we reckon that it oughta be good for cars and travel trailers too. If you’re comin’ from the big city with a heavy rig, truck or car, turn south (right) onto Avonroy Road (Rng Rd 194). Continue southbound until you reach Township Rd 502 where you will turn east (left). Turn south (right) onto Range Road 193. You’ll be glad you did.

That’s about it for now. Check back soon for updates.

Can’t wait to see y’all!

— The Wild Oats & Notes Crew

P.S. Don’t forget your rubber boots and bug spray – Just in case.
