Grey Fox Best Campsite Award Has Gone "Green"

Long gone are the days when the biggest, most elaborate spread took the prize for the best campsite. The prize now goes to the campsite that creatively shows the best use of space at the festival. Everyone who camps at Grey Fox is in the running. The award is selected by our Recycling Crew, who cover every inch of the Walsh Farm in search of that "spatial triumph."

2009 Best Campsite Award

The 2009 winners of the Best Green Campsite Award were Deb Parker (New Baltimore, NY), and David High and Ralph Del Pozzo (Athens, NY), Jackie Keveson and Earl Thomasson. The entire five-person campsite was constructed of items purchased at thrift stores over the years, with flowers brought from home. Every nook and cranny was a visual delight -- from the beautiful little living area to the impressive tattoos adorning almost every inch of Ms. Parker! All this creativity in a very small amount of space! Congratulations. Click any photo in the slideshow to see it larger or click here for the gallery of all the photos of the winning campsite.

You, too, can win next year! Say goodbye to big, sprawling fancy campsites and turn your home-sweet-home into an efficient, environmentally-compatible space. Think small. Think green. And YOU could win a pair of tickets to next year's festival.

The winner is chosen on Saturday by our eco-friendly judges. You'll find the winner's name (and location) posted at the Information Booth by 6pm, and we'll announce the winner on stage during Saturday's evening show.

So plan ahead, get creative and go green! Good luck!
