BIG NAMES. HOT NEW BANDS. LIVE AND EN FRANAIS!

LIVE MUSIC THROUGHOUT THE YEAR SUDBURYS FRENCH MUSIC PROMOTER

WelcomeThanks to everyone who helped make R&S happen this year. Please take good care of each other and our weekend home at Fishers Paradise. Big thanks to Chris & Julie and to all our neighbours for sharing their neck of the woods with us.

R&S is all about loving and enjoying and being part of the beauty of it all. Real life is not always conducive to this - I hope this weekend makes you all happy. I hope that happiness is so abundant here that R&S can spill over into your otherwise life. It is so simple but yet hard to do.

Admit it. You arent like them. Youre not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the normal people as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like Have a nice day and Weathers awful today, eh?, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like Tell me something that makes you cry or What do you think dj vu is for?. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator, and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work, are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others. - Timothy Leary

Thanks for helping me find you.

Be kind and the world will change.

Peter Zwarich

Questions & AnswersFIREWORKS? No. Never. Ever. In fact, we will ask you to leave if you set them off. So, please dont put us, or yourself in that situation. Save them for your birthday or Canada Day. Theyre just not safe with so many people around.

BURNT YOUR HAND, CUT YOUR TOE ... TOO MUCH SUN? Go visit the Nurse Right Now (NRN) booth for first aid on site. Its nurses have a wide range of backgrounds from the ER to the OR and from paediatrics to geriatrics. St. Johns Ambulance will also be on hand to help out.

WHAT IF IM REALLY INJURED/SICK? The closest emergency room is at the West Nipissing Health Centre, 145 Main Street, Sturgeon Falls. Turn right when you leave the property and follow the signs to Sturgeon -- it is about a 25 minute drive.

WHAT HAS LEAVES OF THREE AND YOURE ADVISED TO LET IT BE? Poison ivy. While we have taken precautions to remove this highly reactive vine, keep an eye out and stick to the trails.

YIKES IS THAT THUNDER AND LIGHTNING? Follow the 30-30 rule. If there are 30 seconds or less between thunder and lightning take cover in a vehicle, building or low-lying area away from tall trees. Wait until 30 minutes after the last thunder before venturing out. Stay low but never lie down on the ground and keep both feet together to minimize ground current.

CAN I START A FIRE? Fires need to be contained in fire pits. Wood will be provided in drop off areas. MNR fire bans apply to R&S. If youre planning on cooking, bring a stove. Be sure to have water standing by if you need to douse the fire in an emergency.

WHAT DO I DO WITH MY VEHICLE? Park it away from the campsites. Once the festival starts no driving on site! Riders from the Sudbury Cyclists Union will help you get your gear in with bike trailers, or use one of our handy dollies.

GETTING AROUND AT R&S? Bikes are the best. When walking, protect and cover your toes. A flashlight really helps in making your way to the late night campfire stage at the beach.

CAN I SWIM AND SAUNA? Go for it at your own risk and never under the influence! Note: Our beach area is unsupervised and the Sturgeon River has a current. You can also feel free to jump in the oxbow beside the main stage too. Children must be supervised by their parents in the water and sauna at all times.

I AM SO THIRSTY There is free drinking water available via a fill station near the Main Stage. Bring containers.

WHAT ABOUT SMOKING? Discretion is always appreciated, especially around children. Make sure your butts are well put out and disposed of properly in a tin can or your pocket. Butts dont biodegrade and we want to keep Fishers Paradise free of them.

WOOF/NEIGH? Dogs are awesome but need to be on a leash. Please dont bring them directly in front of the main stage it is a stressful place for dogs and a nice place for humans to sit on the grass. Same applies to horses.

WHERE CAN I WASH MY BODY? If you want to freshen up, go for a swim and sauna. But dont use soap or shampoo with phosphates in the river! Think biodegradable soap.

IS THIS A BYOB FESTIVAL? Open alcohol at campsite is OK. No open alcohol (walking with beer can) outside campsites please. No glass!

WHERES THE CLOSEST PLACE TO STOCK UP? Turn left as you leave the property and 9 kms will take you to the LCBO in River Valley. River Valley also has a chip stand and a Family Restaurant/bluegrass bar. Or turn right, and about 6 kms will take you to Fields LCBO in its general store. You can buy cake at the store too!

WHAT DO I DO WITH MY GARBAGE? Look to sort your stash before you trash. If you could take your garbage with you, thatd be great. Your empties go toward keeping R&S rolling.

HEY, ARE THOSE MOSQUITOES? Welcome to North Ontario! The witching hour comes just as darkness falls. Prepare with some bug dope, long sleeves & pants. FYI Mosquitos like dark colours and do not respect black tights. Light colours are best.

CAN I HOOT AND HOWL AT 3 A.M. IN THE FAMILY CAMPING ZONE? Please dont. Children and parents need their sleep. Gentle strumming by the campfire only. The Beach is a good place to let off steam by dancing it up with the late night bands.

BULLS EYE BITE? If you have a bulls-eye shaped bite or other strange rash from a bite get it checked out at the Nurse Right Now station. Better yet, wear light coloured pants tucked into socks and long sleeves with DEET bug repellent to protect from ticks and other bugs. If bitten, never squeeze a tick, but pull out slowly near head with tweezers (saving it for identification) or better yet get one of our medical people to do it. Slosh area with rubbing alcohol.
