What does it cost?
You must be 21 with a valid photo ID. Hawgstock charges $40.00 per person for the weekend at the gate.
($35.00 per person in advance pre-pay option available through August 15, 2009) This includes camping,
bands, entertainment and showers.
Support Vehicles $50.00, Trailers $50.00, Motorhomes $100.00
Food, Ice, Beverages and vendor items will also be for sale on premise. (There are no 1 day passes,
armbands are good for the weekend whether you come for the day or the entire weekend)

What is a Shower Stage?
The shower stage was originated by Chief himself and started at a party in his garage. The original
stage was constructed out of scaffold, covered with plywood, complete with dancer pole and an
adjustable temp shower head, and also a hand held unit. There is a picture of the stage in the photo
section.

What is a support vehicle fee?
Hawgstock considers any vehicle other than a motorcycle a support vehicle. If you want to drive a car,
or truck to the rally that is fine, however you will be charged the extra $50.00 support vehicle fee for
parking on Hawgstock grounds for the weekend. ***Your vehicle will NOT be allowed in the camp
area.***

If you would like to take your vehicle into the camp area you would not be charged the $50.00 support
vehicle fee but you would be charged the $100.00 motorhome fee and your vehicle would remain in the
same area as the motorhomes, not in the tent area with the bikes.

What is the trailer fee?
Hawgstock considers a trailer to be a trailer used to haul motorcycles or camping accessories, towed
behind a support vehicle "car or truck". The trailer would cost an additional $50.00 to park on Hawgstock
grounds for the weekend. ***Your trailer would not be allowed in the camp area.*** This is in addition to
the support vehicle charge and general admission.

If you drive a truck or car and are pulling a camper or 5th wheel you would pay the motorhome fee
$100.00 in addition to general admission of $40.00 per person.

Those of you with motorcyles pulling trailers, (storage or pop up motorcycle camp trailers) will not be
charged a trailer fee.

Why the extra support vehicle & trailer fees?
This is a motorcycle rally! The fees have been imposed to provide a parking area as well as to
protect the motorcycle riders and pedestrians in the camping area. Mainly to limit the car and truck
traffic in and out of Hawgstock.

Will we be allowed to take our support vehicle in to the camp area just to unload? NO, support
vehicles without motorhome passes will remain in the parking area. There will be a shuttle service
available for moving items from the parking area to the camping area.

What are colors?
Colors are a reference to organized groups of riders. Colors are patches worn by these groups.
Examples of patch wearers are Vietnam Veterans, Christian Motorcycle Association, Sons of Silence,
and many, many more. If you are concerned with the "colors" please do some research on these
organizations. These are not the "stereo typed biker gangs" of the past. These are organizations that
are for the most part working to promote good things in our society.

Who rides motorcycle?
Men and women alike ride motorcycles today. The average age of a Harley rider today is 37. Harley
Davidson motorcycles cost between $16,000 and $24,000 for a stock bike off the show room floor. Many
of the custom bikes are considerably more expensive. For the most part riders are responsible citizens, a
little known fact is that alot of riders today are doctors, lawyers, police men, fire fighters, and business
owners, amazingly ordinary people.

UNKNOWN THINGS ARE THE MOST FEARED!

Is Hawgstock relocating?
NO! Hawgstock will be held the same place as the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 rallies. It is true that
eventually we would like to get a larger piece of ground, but then again everyone has a dream! We have
heard that our rally reminds people of the old Freedom Rally - when it was still in Humboldt Iowa. We
take that as a compliment, as we attended that rally ourselves for years and always had a great time. A
bit friendlier and cozier than most these days.

Have Chief & Cat sold thier place in Winterset?
LOL, how do these rumors get started???? NO, NO, NO!!!!
We have not sold and don't have plans to! We enjoy our country home and the neighbors as well. It is
true that the place has been grown up, much more than usual. We have been asked by a friend to let the
grass grow for some hay. It should be a bit more presentable by the end of June!

Has Chief had an accident? NO! We are not even sure how that one got started. Be assured that
Chief and his dresser "Babs" are both fine! Thanks for all the concern!!!!

Is Hawgstock still on for 2009, 2010?
YES, The grounds did flood during the 2008 flood, but have since dried back out and we have been
working hard to get the area back in shape - I must say it is coming along better than we originally
anticipated. We do have some loose sand throughout the grounds that riders will want to be aware of.
So YES we are ON for 2009, 2010 and beyond!
