If this event is being held at the Elmore field day site then there is a 
few buildings, power, phones to I think, etc already there. I stayed up 
that way a few years ago onsite for an event. Not many people though, so 
much so I had fun trying to run down the local rabbit population with my 
car at night for something different, didnt get any as the power poles 
highly limited my activities ;-)
