hand along the way. Best hand wins. 2pm start time.

- Pig Roast and Potluck: The pig is provided by the Cross Crusade and is

words, please bring some food to add to the table if you expect to partake.

- Live Music: The 'Un-Popular Club' is setting up stage in the barn for

your listening enjoyment. They will be taking stage somewhere in the 7

will start assembling anytime after 3pm, and the hounds will leave promptly

@ 4pm.

under the stars on Saturday evening. Pumpkins will be displayed in the

forest during Sunday's race.

- Haunt the Forest: Come help set the ambience for Sunday's race. Bring

some items to help create decorations to haunt the forest that the 'Cross

Crusade Race will go through on Sunday. Cobwebs, Blair Witch

artifacts...basically anything you might think would be a good addition.

- Overnight Camping: Overnight camping will be available on Saturday night

for the 'Cross Crusade Race(s) the following day. Bring your own essentials

(Tent, sleeping bag, water, food, toothbrush. It's rustic camping, not a

B&B).

enjoyment.

- Music (not live): Sounds will be going all day, or until the neighbors

complain. Wait....no neighbors...we'll have music going all day!

- Costumes: Costumes are encouraged for Saturday. A costume will also get

you a reduced entry fee at Sunday's 'Cross Crusade race. (wearing a Postal

jersey does not mean you are dressed as Lance Armstrong, so get creative!)

- Unofficial Events: Several, very unofficial, events (ie- a mile run

through the trees- in which, some forgot their togs) happened during last

years 'Cross Festival. Who knows what may transpire this year?

- The normal 'Cross Crusade schedule of events will take place on Sunday.

Well, sort of normal....see below.

- Wear a costume! Special awards (at promoter's discretion) for the most

creative costumes. We also offer a reduced entry fee for those who race in

costume.

- Several hundreds of meters of new course have been added. Course will be

available for pre-ride on Saturday afternoon for those of you coming out to

take part in that day's festivities.
