I like that idea – pasta and salad bar. Add in late night deserts, coffee, tea, cream and sugar, plus lemonade/ iced mint tea or something cooling and refreshing for the daytime. If people wanted to contribute in small ways to meals, we could send the menu out ahead of time and let them know they could bring extra items for snacking or to accompany courses – things like pickles, olives, extra cheese, popcorn, chips, hemp seeds, etc… having the menu out ahead of time also would allow people to plan on bringing certain items they may want/ need because of dietary restrictions/ preferences.
I don’t really know what to say about the costs/ who to manage it, but I think something like this would be simple and affordable:
An oatmeal bar for breakfasts
A soup and sandwich bar for lunches
A burrito/taco bar and one other nice meal for dinnersI’d like to add a question that asks if someone is a participant, an organizer, or a performer – to understand the different perspectives
Please contact Daniel from Prindel Creek. With that said, we could really use the cash if there is any way you can pull it together ($50 in advance). Thanks.

daniel@prindelcreekfarm.comFor those seeking information on how to vend at the Festival (Prindel Creek Farm), please read the guidelines (pasted below and also in the “about” tab at the top of the page):
InDidjInUs Festival Vending Guidelines:
We welcome vending at the InDidjInUs Festival, and have established a juried process for those wanting a booth at Prindel Creek Farm. If you are interested in vending at the Festival, go to: https://indidjin.us/vending-contact/ and choose the “Festival Vending” option in the drop down menu.
There, you can leave a message with a description of your wares, and upload up to 4 pictures. One of the vending coordinators will contact you within 2 business days to confirm we have everything we need to make a decision.
On the website, you should include the following:
- Your contact information
- A detailed description of what you are vending, and which category your products fall under (see categories below)
- 4 good quality photos showing details of your wares
Categories for vending:
1. Didge-related products that musicians would be interested in
2. Musical instruments
3. Handmade items
4. ArtVending at the InDidjInUs Festival is now a juried process, meaning items will be judged for their characteristics and quality. We want to ensure we provide vending opportunities for those folks who come to InDidjInUs with items we know the community is interested in. We will consider unique items that do not fall into the categories listed above, but you must submit a detailed request with your application. Please note that vending any type of paraphernalia is not allowed.
Please be aware that vendor set-up will begin no earlier than Thursday (8/18) around 3 PM
Thanks in advance for your understanding!
If you have any questions, please contact Karen: ksbishop44@gmail.com
For the Prindel Creek Farm event (aka the Festival), Carolyn Smyth and I are the vending coordinator team. We will be asking people to send us a description, with photos and pay the $50 booth fee upon approval. This information will be in the forthcoming June meeting minutes (sorry folks, I’ve been really behind this time in getting the notes out!). I PROMISE to have them out by tomorrow.
In the meantime, Michael – is there a vending coordinators email account that I should know about?
Carolyn and I will be talking about the vending at PCF, once and they’re all back from Country Fair and will send out more detailed information to the whole community.
I’m working on the packet info… will likely have something soon… HA! how’s that for commitment?! I’m pulling pieces together to fill in the outline Stacy created.
Hi Robert – I think we will know more about logistics after the meeting on the 21st. We’ll be sure to get this information out to you and all members as soon as we pull it all together 🙂
Hey Stacy – Is this something for the membership packets? I’m just a little unclear of the audience/ purpose. I pulled together language from a few sources to compile something (below). Were you thinking something along these lines?
—————————-
In-Didj-In-Us is an organization dedicated to the promotion of the music, culture and crafting of the didgeridoo. Founded by Chad Butler in 1996 in Scio, Oregon, it has grown to become the largest international didgeridoo gathering on the west coast (or the u.s.?). Each year musicians, friends and didgeridoo enthusiasts attend from all corners of the world, in an intimate setting where everyone can learn from and teach one another. This year, there are two opportunities to experience In-Didj-In-Us.One opportunity is the conference, a member-based gathering where attendees take their love of the didj to a new level. This will be held at Neal Creek Resort on August 12-14, just outside of Scio. This will be limited in size (200 people), and have a more intimate feel. The conference fee is $150.
The second opportunity is the In-Didj-In-Us festival. The festival will be held on August 19-21 at the familiar location of Prindel Creek Farm. The festival can accommodate more people, has a large outdoor kitchen, and will share many of the same musicians that play at the conference. The festival fee is $50 in advance, and $75 at the gate.
Both events will host small workshops, small-scale vending of handcrafted and unique musical instruments, and performances by some of the world’s most renowned musicians. Both will be sure to leave participants amazed by the talent being displayed by performers on the stage or around the campfire at night. This is an environment in which every person becomes a leader, teacher and student. There are plenty of big names that attend but here every person is a shining star.
Karen Bailey made one for last year’s Indidjinus brochures. I have several copies that were left over. I could scan it in to use again, if everyone liked it. At one point I thought Daniel and Carolyn might have made or were making one too? Does anyone know about that?
