IBMA FanFEAST - Breakfast is Served!
Hey Folks, I’ll be there bright and early Friday morning, Oct 2 to help serve up some breakfast and raise some money for Bluegrass Music! I’ll be joining my friend, Larry Stephenson on his team so come on out and join us. Here is a little more detail from Dan Hays at IBMA….
FanFEAST = Fun
Only 200 Tickets Available
The newest fan-friendly and fun experience for fans coming to Fan Fest is FanFEAST!
Everyone has to eat at some point during Bluegrass Fan Fest and what better way to kick-start the festivities on Friday morning (Oct 2 – 9 AM Central) than breakfast with the stars. And this intimate little gathering will offer a unique twist.
“We’re organizing everyone’s favorite artists into teams to serve breakfast at FanFEAST and each team will be competing for tips. And the team that earns the most tips will earn a donation to their favorite charity,” says IBMA executive director Dan Hays.
Every patron who buys a ticket to the events will be given $15 in play “tip money” when they arrive at the breakfast. As they’re served during the breakfast buffet, they’ll be enticed by the artists through whatever creative means the artists can come up with to turn loose of their tip money. You can expect excellent service from each of the teams or likely an impromptu serenade if there’s a need to compensate for any lack of waiter and waitress skills.
The breakfast only costs $20 and although fans aren’t expected to contribute their own “real” money as tips, they’re welcome to if they run out of the play “tip money” and want to reward their waiters and waitresses and help put them over the top.
At least 30 artists (still being organized at press time) will be on hand and the breakfast is limited to 200 attendees.
“Everyone should arrive expecting a lot of personal interaction with the artists and what’s sure to be some unexpected antics and fun,” according to Hays.
