I've been attending Bailey Fest since it started 3 years ago. Every year once it's over I leave thinking that it couldn't be any better, and every time I come back it's even rowdier. Bailey is a class 4+ 5- run. Bailey Fest is a class 5+ party. It gets wild. This year there were 4 kegs of Oscar Blues beer at the put in party and camp area and 40 cases of Oscar Blues beer at the take-out extravaganza.

If you go to Bailey Fest you can enter a number of competitions for prizes. This year I entered the world famous foamie race and won an awesome IR fleece. The grand prize was a Jackson Zen. BBQ from the local restaurant Hog Heaven for the party at the put-in as well as a hang over breakfast in the morning. At the party Saturday night, they premiered my movie Unlimiting Factor which was really cool to see projected on the big screen. I made a short edit from Bailey Fest. Juice Sauce.

Enjoy
