I know some people are renting hotel rooms but I'm thinking I don't want to fork out the money if I'm only getting to use the room for a few short hours.  Is there a green space (city park) to set up tents?

  There is not a place for tents as this is right in downtown Florence.  Sleeping in your vehicle or in a gravity chair might be your best option.

Any idea when information will be coming out on when we can show up, when we have to tear down, etc.? With this being on Main Street, I am wondering what that setup/teardown timeline looks like.

On Friday evening of the event, my wife and I were devastated by a family tragedy.  Mike and a small Army of volunteers helped us strike our site so we could get home that evening.  The support, prayers and help we received are deeply appreciated and beyond anything we could've imagined.  We are deeply thankful to all who helped us get on the road, provided comfort and financial support.  

Thank-you,
Dave Bock
