Hubby, furbaby and I LOVE LOVE LOVE staying at Inn Town Campground. We have stayed 3 times in the last year and I am coming up solo next Thursday to say in Glamping Tent #3 with the pooch to relax on the last part of my week off. Would LOVE to attend the California Worldfest and dance to the awesome music. Good Luck to me!!!
I would love to attend California Worldfest with my daughter, Izzy! She is fourteen and is a music lover and musician (piano and uke). This would be her first concert and mom could chaperone:) Thanks for this contest….what a great idea.
Happy Birthday. I Love Everything about the Inn Town Campground!!!
Live music is best.
Agreed! Especially outside.
Music is therapy for me. I could use a good session. Amazing bands and a beautiful setting. What more could anyone ask for? Adding a night of glamping too….whoa
Did you enjoy the SYRCL concert? So glad to think of music as therapy… close to home, you could leave the family and have a solo trip?
I live right up the street from the fairgrounds and every year we can hear some of the music from my house. Living on a tight budget I haven’t been able to afford to go and every year I wish I could. Would love to blame it up in your tent too. Wow what a great treat for someone to win. Thanks Outside Inn
Thanks for entering and sharing the love, yes, fun giveaway– and it would be fun to be able to enjoy both!
I’d love to experience glamping and the WorldFest!
Thanks Denise, and since you have a knack for winning things on this blog, you just never know. Always fun to have people who can take advantage of some of the many things our community has to offer.
Red Tricycle named Inn Town Campground some of the best glamping in America! I want to see for myself.
Yeah Beth, I would love to see you guys… does your family camp very often? Did you see my new family tent? Perfect for you guys.
I have never gone and have always wanted to experience the magic! Unfortunately, funds have never allowed me to. Have also never been to the campground and would be even more excited to do that! 😉
Great opportunity to try both– I’m a huge fan of giveaways.
Would LOVE to go to worldfest, and of course go glamping! August would have a blast listening to the music and dancing in
circles
Oh he would be the perfect poster child… (you might even have to take his photo!). Thanks for entering my friend, fingers crossed for you.
We have never stayed at the inn town camp ground but would love to come home from santa cruz and continue our vacation and maybe even get a night free to dance from our little one, which we havent had since we got married in June
You’re going to win one of these giveaways! Congrats on the wedding.
Would love to see the live music and see what the inn town campground is like!
Thanks, it’s a great giveaway, now if only I could take a night off and be a tourist! But you could stay at the campground on Thursday and then go to the Worldfest all day Friday? options, options… Thanks for your comment.
Worldfest has so many different kinds of music. I might be tempted to try our glamping. 🙂
Oh my, YES, I would love to glamp at the Outside Inn and dance to some good music! It just happens that my teenage son and I are in town those dates and it is a first time we are visiting Nevada City ever – it would be a fantastic way to explore this sweet town we heard so much about.
I think I would really enjoy California Worldfest and I know I would enjoy a stay in Nevada City!
Two words…. MICHAEL FRANTI !!!!
I want to go to the festival with my sister for her birthday weekend! We talk about going every year, and now that Michael Franti is going to be there this is the year! I haven’t been to the campground yet, but I would love to check it out!
I’ve always wanted to go to world fest but work has always come first. I finaly have a schedual that would work with attending and a staycation at our towns very own glamping spot sounds like a dream come true.
SYRCL was awesome. Hoping my wining streak continues. This mom could use a night away(even if it’s a night spent 3 miles from home).
I have lived here forever and never been to Worldfest! Whaaaaat? I know! Excited to bring the fam out to glamp!
Oh I just noticed, I called the Inn Town Campground – the Outside Inn… oops…looking forward to seeing it all next week!
I would love to go to World Fest this year. In fact, I’ve never been and, frankly, would love the lively distraction.
Time for some fun at the fairgrounds, music, and camping!
Can’t imagine how you have time to do all you do, let alone read all these wonderful reasons why folks want to go to the Worldfest!
Would love to attend, hard to believe I have only been once in 20 years of living in this wonderful area. Sean Kuti is the bomb and would love to hear the Cuban band….hoping to salsa the night away!
Thanks Erin for this opportunity!
Love the Worldfest and would love a night of glamping at the Inn Town Campground since I have family visitng all week.
I just love all the stuff one can do in Nevada County in the summer time. There are never enough hours in the week to do it all. But this year my world fest weekend is clear. Would love to share the experience. thanks Erin for keeping us all informed. Love what you do. <3
