WE Fest 2024 Campsite Contest

Shearer's Country Carnival

The theme for this year’s Campsite Decor Contest is “Shearer’s Country Carnival!”

Bring the nostalgic charm and fun of traditional rural fairs right into your campsite.

Here’s how you might set the scene:

  • Bunting and Flags: Hang colorful bunting and flags around the party area to create a festive atmosphere.
  • Hay Bales: Scatter hay bales around for seating or as decorative elements.
  • Vintage Signage: Use vintage-style signs to label different areas of the party, like “Games,” “Food,” and “Photo Booth.”
  • String Lights: Illuminate the space with string lights for a magical evening ambiance.
  • Carnival Booths: Set up carnival-style booths where guests can play games and win prizes.
Competing is now easier than ever! With the growth of the competition, we’ve made the process more fun and easier for teams to showcase their campsites.
