Power & LIght

Midwest Burners' Afterburn Party · October 13-14 · Ozark Avalon · Boonville, MO

Ozark Avalon has no electricity outlets on the campgrounds. So if you want to use electrically powered toys, tools, radios and do-hickeys, you'll have to be creative. It gets very dark in the Missouri Ozarks.

Campsite Light, Flashlights And Batteries

If you intend to party 'till dawn, you'll need the ability to navigate at night. That means flashlights, headlamps, and lanterns - either gas or battery powered. Remember to bring plenty of gas cannisters and extra batteries. Fishing around in the dark for your keys is a real bummer.

Illuminate Your Art

If you bring or create art that will be displayed in a public area, please illuminate it in some fashion so people can appreciate it at night (and not stumble into it).

Decorative Lighting

A night event needs lights! Lights everywhere! Try attaching battery powered Christmas lights to your tent or structure. Bring that disco light you've kept in the closet for years. Hang glowsticks. Light tiki torches. Use glow-in-the-dark paint. Did you know there are battery powered black lights at party stores? Use your artistic imagination!

Generators

Power generators are welcome at HullabalU, but please keep these things in mind:

  • Newer generators are fairly quiet, but some generators can be obnoxiously loud. Be aware of your sound output.
  • Don't dig a pit for your generator - it scars the land.
  • Your neighbors will not be pleased if you run an extremely loud generator for a couple of lights and a blender.
  • If necessary, consider baffling your generator's sound with some kind of encircling wall, or maybe in the bottom of a box. This forces most of the sound upward.
  • Ask your camping neighbors if your generator is too loud. If so, try moving it further away and run longer power cords to your camp. Chilling with the neighbors is often one of the most fun experiences at Burn events. You don’t want to ruin this.
  • Bring sufficient fuel.
