Alcohol is NOT permitted to be brought in or leave the SOP area. The SOP area will be all ages.

Attendees will be asked to provide ID at point of entrance. Attendees that are under 19 or look under 25 years of age will not receive a wristband indicating they need to present ID at point of purchase.

Security guards will be tasked with patrolling the SOP area for under age drinking. Georgina Rib Fest will make this easier by placing colored wristbands on attendees that of legal age (19+ ). Any one that is spotted with an alcoholic beverage that does not have a wristband will be approached and ID'd.lf they are under 19 they wi11 have the drink confiscated and will be escorted out of the event. If they are of age (19+) they will be allowed to keep their drink.

Lighting (if not available on site) -Georgina Rib Fest will rent high­powered stadium style lighting from Little Electric. These light towers will be placed so that they light the SOP area. Lighting will be sufficient that police and security are able to distinguish faces and properly ensure that under age drinking is not taking place.
