Outdoor Festival Administrative Permit for "From the Ground Up Farms"
Event: "Relations Gathering" at Lake Concow Campground (Expected Attendance 200)
Dates/Hours Requested: 2024, Friday June 28th from noon until Midnight
Saturday June 29th from noon until Midnight
Sunday June 30th from noon until 10 pm
Event Management Plan: This is the annual fundraiser for "From the Ground Up Farms". We have
worked closely with all departments in the old permitting process for over 10 years now, so are very
familiar with what is expected of us for this event.
As in previous years, this is a 3 day camping/music festival located at Lake Concow Campground, 12967
Concow Rd, Oroville, CA 95965. The days will begin with children's events like a talent show on Saturday
and a parade on Sunday, Kiddie Village with crafts, story telling and games. There will also be yoga and
various workshops offered in the mornings. Then there will be a mix of live music and DJ's performing
throughout the day, ending with acoustics and drums (unamplified) to close the night.
The campground is on a well and just had the water tested through FGL. Everything is great with the
water. There are spigots all around the campground, clearly marked. We have 10 pit toilets on site at the
campground, but always bring in additional portables and wash stations for this event from Johnny on
the Spot. There are showers available to campers. We do not bring in vendors, but operate the only food
kitchen to feed performers and volunteers, always in compliance. We also do not allow fires at individual
campsites. We have worked with all of the various departments for so long, we know what to do.
We always have a medical tent with an RN onsite. We always have onsite security and have never had
any serious issues. We do not restrict alcohol that campers bring, but we choose not to have a beer
booth and sell alcohol. It just works better for a family themed event. We have security wandering
through the crowd at all times. We have a zero tolerance policy for drugs, disruptive behavior and
weapons. We have a volunteer trash/recycling crew who joins us every year and a dump trailer for any
trash after event.
The campground has 2 very large parking lots to accommodate the size crowd expected. Our check in
gate will be well inside campground property and nowhere near Concow Road to avoid any traffic
congestion. All grasses have been cut, trees pruned and camping areas clearly marked. We have
barricades to restrict any vehicle traffic in the areas where the families will be dancing, eating, playing
and relaxing. We will post signs in appropriate places on Concow Road, as in previous years . We have a
large, fully plumbed water trailer onsite for dust control and in case of fire emergency. We have a clear
evacuation plan that works well. We have used it before when Camp Fire, Bear Fire and Dixie Fire
happened, as there were campers onsite each time.
There are solar lights to illuminate walkways, bathrooms and parking areas. Lights in the stage area will
all be running by generator. We will have professional sound company onsite, also providing speaker
system if there was an emergency. We also invite Cal Fire to event as our guests and Concow now has 8
certified volunteer firefighters who all live within a mile of the campground. We will contact CHP and Fire
Marshall for inspection. We are obtaining our festival insurance policy through our normal carrier.

Lake Concow Campground is a safe spot to evacuate to if unable to get to Hwy 70. It is managed well,
dry grasses kept short, dangerous trees removed and processed, but also on the lakeshore. This saved
lives in 2018 Camp Fire. Concow and Hwy 70 corridor residents and businesses understand that there
are very few options for evacuation. Only getting to Hwy 70 allows you to leave the area. Sadly we had
campers in the Bear and Dixie fires, when they began, so have practiced this plan more than once.
Lake Concow Emergency Plan: If any fires are In our areas, we begin this process as a precaution.
1) Whoever is aware first, makes immediate phone calls to all members not on site. All members
on site gather immediately. We also have a plan in place to contact the locals we are aware of
that will need assistance, and ask them to prepare, just in case. All members know where
emergency shut offs are for power and water, as well as, know how to use fire extinguishers.
2) Sprinklers on hoses, are scattered around campground and are immediately turned on to wet
everything we can. Both of our wells get switched to generator if power is lost or If we are
forced to leave the property. We also have a 225 gallon water tender trailer to help if needed,
with custom fire hose set up for fire control.
3) As a group, we will make an assessment of the risk. Have there been actual voluntary or
mandatory evacuations issued? How is smoke? How is wind? How fast and direction of wind
and fire?
If not Issued, we notify all campers that there is a wildfire in the area. We ask them to start
gathering things and connecting rv's, because if the smoke gets heavy or any evacuation of
any kind is issued, they will be asked to leave immediately.
If evacuation order of any kind is issued, we intend to empty campground immediately. We
recommend that they either head home or to a parking lot in Chico until they have a plan. We
don't want anyone lingering and would rather refund campers because we evacuated
prematurely, than have someone unable to get out.
4) Konkow Partners have been through many Butte County fires and all have personal
evacuation plans to be enacted, once campground is clear of campers. There aren't many
options with only one road out.
5) We offer training to any community members who want to learn how to keep their property
fire safe, as well as, have a community tool lending library with all the equipment they need
and can be borrowed for free.
6) We have educated the community on how the lake saved lives and they know to head for the
water if unable to get to Hwy 70.
