Hints and Tips
Wondering what to bring? Wondering what to wear? Wondering if you need a blanket? This page features information about Barn Jam including hints and tips for a great evening!
What should I bring?
Bring your favorite dish to share . . . it is a potluck! Also, you might want to bring an old blanket for the hay ride or even to cover up near the campfire. Lawn chairs are also welcome for sitting around the campfire or in case our wooden benches are a little too hard! Other than that - bring your friends! We always welcome newcomers to our events. In fact, we have had some new friends who we met at Barn Jam a few years back and have been attending every year since!
What should I wear?
Everyone always asks - what should I wear? Well, to start off - something you don't mind getting a little dirty. If you plan to ride the hay ride you are obviously going to end up with hay in possibly some unexpected places! But please, do dress for the weather. The barn, tent and studio are heated but outdoor activities are not! There will be campfires as well. So, staying warm will not be a problem! Check out the forecast on the front page and check out the history of Barn Jam weather to see what it has been like in the past.
