FAQs

If you have a question that we did not address, please contact us at CtDraftRescue@aol.com

 

What type of music is being performed?

The musicians are acoustic singers/songwriters and play their own material as well as covers from Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, The Low Anthem, and more.

Are there bathrooms available?

Yes, the farm has porta-potties available with hand sanitizer stations outside the porta-potty area. We do not have sinks or physical restrooms.

Is the farm wheelchair accessible?

The venue for the concert is our outside training ring and it is a flat, grassy surface, but the grounds surrounding the ring are uneven and rocky. We will have a wheelchair-accessible porta-potty available for the night of the concert.

Is there seating available?

We encourage patrons to bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit upon in their designated spaces. We do not have seating available.

It can be very ‘buggy’ at the farm in the evenings—we encourage you to bring your own insect repellent.

What if it rains?

We will notify ticket holders about a future performance date in the event of rain. Tickets are non-refundable.

Are dogs allowed?

No animals are allowed on the property.
