Please only sign up on the forum OR at the link above, not both, please and thank you. Not everyone is a member of fordfestiva.com and those who are not can sign up on the link provided instead.
When you do sign up, please note if you would like to be added to a spreadsheet for planning on bringing side items to either of the BBQ. This is not required! We will provide sides but the more the merrier. BBQ will be burger and dogs style, maybe some chicken. We can throw anything on the grill you bring.
When you arrive, find the sign up table ASAP, we will have your car number, ordered T Shirts and information fliers available.
Weekend Festivaties also as usual! Early arrivals welcomed as soon as Thursday afternoon. Plenty of room for tent or RV camping. Not much space for indoor sleeping however. The front cleared field is a few acres. A turn around lane will be available for towing vehicles and RVs.
Madness Central is now located at 3990 NC 58 Hwy Louisburg NC 27549-8091
Itenary: Friday, about 5PM, we will light the grill and begin cooking meat! Bringing sides is NOT required but is more than welcome! The Madness committee is providing the food, but the drinks are on attendees. Later that evening, near sunset, we will light a large bonfire. We also are trying to line up some live music for entertainment. Quiet hours start at 11PM as mandated by county ordinance and respect for our neighbors.
Saturday morning, wake up and attend the meet! Breakfast and lunch is up to attendees. We suggest Sunrise biscuits for breakfast, and lunch at Zaxbys. Other options are available. There will be a discount for Madness attendees at Zaxbys.
The meet starts at 10AM, but early arrival is fine. We will fill as much of the parking lot as we can! MAKE SURE YOU SIGN IN ASAP! This is when you will be given a number for your car, and the T-shirts you signed up for. Anyone that physically drives a Festiva to the meet receives a free shirt. There is a sign up list to register in advance to make sure a shirt is ready in your size. You can also order extras for $15 each.
Then it is time to mingle, look at cars and find out which ones you wish to vote for. At noon, we will hand out awards.We will be giving away trophies as usual. Votes for Fan Favorite and Best Beater are $1 per vote, with proceeds being donated to the American Heart Association. Other trophies will be given for farthest traveled, lowest mileage, highest mileage, earliest build date, and a bad luck award for the person who had the hardest time making it to the meet. Other Madness swag including older shirts from previous meets will be on sale.
At One PM, time to parade back to Madness Central! We have tried this many times in the past. This year, we think we are going to be able to procure a police escort to block off lights from Walmart to 561. Once on 561 it is about 12 miles of 2 lane country road to Hwy 58, no lights, no stop signs the entire way! This is our time to shine in Louisburg all the way to Centerville(location of Madness Central.) If we do manage the police escort, we will have to be very punctual!
Back at Madness Central, there will be more hanging out, playing with cars, another BBQ for dinner, and all the usual Shenanigans. Again, quiet hours start at 11PM. We don’t have to stop congregating, but this will be when we don’t want to blast music, rev loud engines, and so on.
Sunday morning will be a buffet style breakfast, southern style. Expect pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy etc Then it is time to pack your things and head on home, with another year's great memories in your head and a glow in your heart!
The front acres of Kobayashi Maru Farms (Festy Farm) will be open to all. We will be in full Madness mode and will start accepting early-bird arrivals starting Thursday September 30th
There are several hotels and motels near the farm as well as several Air B and B's. The differences this year are a few. The house will be open to any that need to use the bathroom or get something to eat in the middle of the night or crash anywhere they can find a free spot. However, since we are looking at a larger area we will also be providing extra bathrooms this year. We will be having a company bring in a few extra bathrooms that will be spread out over the property to allow for easier access and less waiting for morning dooties…. I mean, duties.
A new photographer will be on site taking pictures during the event, but you are welcome to take pics yourself and share those on social media too!
Things to bring with you:
Folding chairs (Or you’ll be standing all weekend!)
Skeeter spray
Sunscreen (prepare for all weather types)
Camping gear if you are not staying in a hotel (tent, sleeping bag, etc)
Snacks, water, coolers -Remember, we will be at the farm! Open fields with bright sunshine, bring lots of water!
ALSO
We will be regularly updating the Festiva Madness website and Facebook page with itinerary and location changes(if any) etc. In particular, we are searching for a rain location. Before you head out, double and triple check those places for any updates to information. There will be driving directions, updated information, phone numbers etc. Also an updated list of awards.
