• Visit the welcome station located by the entrance to get one of the 1000 tokens being handed out to redeem for backpacks.
• Once the tokens are gone, no backpacks are available – get here early!
• View the corresponding backpack pickup times with your token number on the Community Hope Fest schedule
• Visit the backpack station behind the ministry/vendor tents (look for the backpack flag) during the time allotted for your token number.
• Free backpacks given to people with tokens only.

We’re blessed to have our volunteers around to keep this a fun, safe, and free event of hope! Look for the bright yellow tee shirts for help with directions, questions or just to say thank you! Here are a few tips for the afternoon:

• Parking is located on the east side of the fairgrounds.
• Bathrooms are located behind the bandstand, adjacent to the soccer/flag football and skateboard demos, and also adjacent to the silo.
• There is limited picnic table seating – bring lawn chairs & blankets.
• The event will be held rain or shine.
• Be sure to thank our generous sponsors, resource partners, and volunteers for donating their time, talents, and treasures to help make Community Hope Fest possible!
