Howdy MutherTruckers!
One pernicious and persistant problem with doing events at Truckhenge has been the electrical power available at the location.
The electrical power that is available is "dirty" (Meaning inconsistent, unstable and not good for PA and band equipment)
We have had to rent generators to power events, and those are expensive. (PA, Lights and band gear draw a LOT of power, a little camping generator just won't cut it)
The ultimate solution is to get real power off of the grid (Power poles) and have clean stale power ALWAYS available for events. In the long run this will keep costs and expehttp://www.chipin.com/contribute/id/b82f04c6aa70f1d2nses for doing events at Truckhenge down.
In short what needs to happen is: We need a big transformer put onto the phone/power pole thats closest to the festival area. Then we need a new power pole put in 100" from that.
It is difficult to get an exact amount that this will cost. But realistically it will be between $600 and $1,000 bucks. I set the "goal amount" on this chip-in fund raiser at $2,000, higher then whats needed for this actual project....because there will ALWAYS been something else needed, and some hidden cost somewhere. (Like actually paying for the electricity we use, or buying the heavy-duty industrial cable, which is unbelievably expensive, like $4.50 a foot!)
Anyway....please help out by tossing a few bucks into this chip-in account.
And if you would please, help spread the word and maybe re-post this in your bulletins and pages. (The code to embed should appear somewhere below)
And watch the progress bar make its way up to the needed amount!
