Hello Gil, Ron from Family Events here. Unfortunatly all spaces are first come first serve. We did notice this last year that some people at Lima, and Bloomsburg came in even before we got to the grounds to set up. We are working on solving this problem. As always a few ruin it for others. We do appreciate the years that you have attended, and hope to see you all again this year!

Hi Ron, I don't know how you are but if you go to Bloom you already know pretty much where the regulars park from year to year.Theses guys got in the fairgrounds on wednesday before the show.If this is the case and if its ok We'll bring our trucks on monday or tuesday,like I said I only live 25 min from the fairgrounds.Our wives and kids look forward to this show every year and we've been parking next to the host club for many years.I've met so many great people there over the years and this last year was just a disaster.These guys that parked in the area I'm talking about were doing drugs out in the open calling us derogitory names in front of our children and it just wasn't the Bloom Jambo that I know of years past.If there is anything you can do to help with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks Gil Petraskie

If there is ever a problem like the names, drugs, please see one of our staff or security, and we will have security take care of the problem. We want a safe and fun weekend for all, not a Spring Break!

we did tell the event staff last year and they didn't do anything.I don't want to seem like a crybaby or pain in the ass but can you tell me how we can sustain our spot that we've been getting over the years.I always have arrived at the fairgrounds early on friday and stand in the registration line long before it opens(2 hours before)and they always tell me were not opening for 2 hours,thats ok I'll stand here and I'm usually the first person to drive in the fairgrounds(after being registerd)thats how we've done it forever and I've always seemed to get in the area that we want.If the event staff could get a handle on this it would be great.Last year on day one they could have been short staffed but there wasn't anyone at the gates checking your cridentials.I will volenteer my time to help out the event staff in any way I can to make the Bloom Jambo a nice and safe outing

The fairgrounds are open to the public until Friday we have gate control. Not sure who you talked to last year on the problems, but go to our show office and see Susie if you have a problem, believe me she will get it handled!

I park where ever I can find something, sometimes different spots the same weekend...
