Not to pile on too much onto this discussion, but I have a different yet related question. What are the insurance liabilities that Paradise Canyon and/or TCR may have if someone has an accident during the event, but didn’t purchase a wristband and sign the liability waiver? Perhaps we simply n

Do we get a discount on cabins for this event? Or is it the regular rates? Or do I need to talk to the PC folks? Thanks, Sheryl Rieck sheryl.ri...@gmail.com P.S. If you are coming to TCR, please send pics so I can pick who throws me out. Males preferred. __

I agree with Gill agreeing with Alan and Linda. Additionally, I have quite often given extra money at registration when I could to help offset for some who can’t afford it. I’m looking forward to TCR. I missed it last year because I was one of the exceptionally broke and couldn’t make it. It m

Allan made some excellent points. People that attend TCR without paying are stealing from others, short and simple. Even the organizers, cooks, and other volunteers pay. I pay, and so does my family, and I'm running the whole circus this year. Dozens of people work long hours hauling trailers,

“I have been informed that if you don't have a wristband this year, you will be kicked out... so... y'all should all register as soon as you get to camp (cash or check only this year!)!” Really? i have seen people go to registration half a dozen times before catching somebody to take their money.
