How to prepare ...

In order to enjoy your time at KOOPFEST and be as much a part of things as possible, here are some ways to prepare, items to bring along and things to know (check back regularly as this page will have updates as needed) ...

Here are a few things to get together before you arrive ...

1. Pictures/memorbalia to go on your family table for Friday night. Each table is 6 feet long and 2.5 feet wide. You can arrive as early as 3:30 pm to set up your table and as late as 5:00 pm. If you need a wall behind the table contact me (the aunt organizing this all)!

2. A way to identify which family you are from ... please work with your whole family on this one! Name tags will be a part of the registration process once on site!

3. Lawn chairs to use outside ... there is seating but those who are locally located should bring as many lawn chairs as possible to help with outdoor seating.

4. Your own beverages ... at meals beverages will be supplied but you may want to store your beverages in the large bar/canteen fridges (please label them). There is a large ice machine in the bar/canteen area as well!

PLEASE NOTE: If you are bringing alcohol to drink it has to be purchased from a Manitoba Liquor Mart OR approved Manitoba Govevernment Store & you must have the receipt with you to prove this purchase - this is according to the liquor license for this event

5. Any large outdoor game, puzzle, board game or sports equipment (soccer ball, baseball equipment, volleyball ... as space for these sports are available) ... there will be planned events but also quiet areas to enjoy a puzzle or board game or art/crafts (these will be planned and materials available).

6. Other items to bring ... water bottle, sunscreen, hat, mosquitoe repellent, umbrella, sense of humour!
