   There are some bleachers for the stage shows but are mostly in the sun   
   in that area.  NIBGA rents large tents for the main stage area and band   
   tables.in addition to the permanent shelter in front of stage.  It would   
   be a good idea to bring lawn chairs. That is the main seating in front   
   of stage under shelter areas. Good eating concessions are available near   
   stage area.
