You have seen him at the Rat Hole during Myrtle Beach Bike Week and now you can see him at the 2008 MountainFest Motorcycle Rally. This year MountainFest has enlisted the services of the man we all know as the "Cowboy". Buster Brown is set to entertain the MountainFest masses throughout the day on the mainstage and at night in the The Coal Bucket Saloon. Don't miss out on the time all your friends will be talking about.
In years 2005 and 2006 MountainFest LLC held the official MountainFest campground. After the 2006 event the organizers of MountainFest, in an effort to bring you closer to the heart of MountainFest, allowed another entity to facilitate your camping experience. However after hearing your suggestions MountainFest LLC has made some adjustments for the Over 21 2008 campground. For starters Mountainfest LLC is taking the management reigns once again. More importantly we've moved the campround and put you, the camper, within an eye's view of the primary venue at Mylan Park. In fact, the campground is now within the confines of Mylan Park. Most importantly, we've added a new wrinkle with the Coal Bucket Saloon which will be located right next door to the campground. Look at it this way... with the Coal Bucket Saloon we've brought a little bit of the party you see at Myrtle Beach Bike Week to Morgantown. This year plan to be treated to the best Over 21 camping offered at MountainFest 2008.
New for 2008 MountainFest plans to entertain you long after the family goes home to prepare for the next day of hardcore riding. For those of you seeking more entertainment it is time to check out The Coal Bucket Saloon located right next to the Over 21 campground at MountainFest. The Coal Bucket Saloon is the perfect place to wet your whistle, t-shirt or anything else that may be overheating as the the nights rages on. Come join us at the Coal Bucket Saloon where Buster "The Cowboy" Brown will be set to entertain you long into the night.
