Burn Co’s BBQ Brunch and beverages are included with a VIP festival ticket, along admission to the festival that night.

Skinner was a grant recipient of RDRF, and remained a committed supporter of the organization until his death in July 2015. Ten musicians performing at this festival have benefitted from the RDRF. Operated by an all-volunteer Board, RDRF has granted over $100,000 to musicians in the state since 2012.
