According to the ABATE Kansas website, the rally will begin when the gates open at noon Friday, August 31st, and continue through Labor Day.

While everyone is welcome to attend, non-ABATE member passes will cost 35-dollars per person, 10-dollars more than member admissions.

Rvs, campers and trailers will need to pay an additional 20-dollar camping fee.

All admissions are for the entire weekend, with no day passes being made available.

Rules will be heavily enforced, including children under 18 required to be in their family's campground after 8:00 at night.

Other violations, in the words of the website, are a one way ticket out, including possession of firearms or attitudes, racing, wheelies and burnouts.

The campgrounds can be accessed from K-4, at Valley Falls.
