a) The Halloween Stomp is a rock music festival featuring 40+ bands playing all weekend long on three separate stages. The event is rain or shine, and all ages are welcome. Wilmer's Park is located in Brandywine, MD and is not more than one hours drive from Northern Virginia, Annapolis, and Baltimore. This venue is only fifteen minutes from the Washington D.C. beltway (US route 95/495). Most attendees are from the Northern Virginia/Maryland/DC area. However, there is a history of people coming from as far north as New York, and as far south as Georgia. The venue allows attendees to camp out overnight (Friday to Sunday morning) and vendors often remain open most of the night.

b) Attendance at music events at this venue range from 1000 people to over 8000. The Halloween Stomp's target audience is 12-29, and we expect anywhere from one to three thousand people over the course of the day, however the promotion we have generated could result in a much larger crowd than anticipated.

c) Advertising for the event includes the following: WHFS and WRNR radio (several hundred 60 second ads on each station). A full page ad in Music Monthly, Pitch Magazine, the Baltimore and Washington City Papers, and BarStool. 100,000 flyers distributed throughout (all throughout) Virginia, Maryland, DC, New York, Pennsylvania, and the outskirts of surrounding states. Also, each band will be distributing information and it is included on at least twenty-five web sites currently.

d) The event itself will have 40 bands, three stages, overnight camping, a Moonbounce, and more.

e) The current price for a vending spot is $150.00 - though once the spots are almost filled, the rate will rise to $250.00. The dimensions for the area are 10' by 10' or 12' by 12'. If you need special arrangements, please let us know and we will be happy to work with you. We will do our best not to have competing vendors, although large amounts of advance ticket sales may alter the amount of vendors.

f) IMPORTANT - You must be self-sufficient and provide your own electric power and lights. Many vendors bring their own power generator. Vendors bring their own lanterns or electric lighting systems they hook up to their generators so they can remain open all night.

g) The organizers of this event have had direct involvement with the following festivals: WHFS'tival, Millennium Groove, Fado Festival, May Day Jam, Funkalicious, The All Good Festival, The Autumn Equinox, Jerry Garcia's Birthday Party, Back to School Boogie, Spring Thaw, Funkalicious, and more. You have two of the best promoters in the business making this event happen - Full Steam Ahead Productions and FunkStarr Entertainment.

h) The festival features the nationaly known band - Agents Of Good Roots - as well as several bands like The Ordinary Way which are quickly rising in stature locally. They have played with SEV, Jepetto, Blue Miracle, Jay Jay, Carbon Leaf, David Nelson Band, The Next Step, Juggling Suns, and more.
