The sheriff and/or state patrol WILL BE RIDING ATVs CHECKING for alcohol consumption. The entire area is off limits to alcohol including the beach and trails. If we have ANY trouble with anyone fighting, excessive alcohol use, minors with alcohol, or people riding fast or stunt riding in the unloading area, NOHVA will ask them to be arrested and jailed.

PARKING -Vehicle parking (cars, trucks, trailers) is limited to the unloading area and the overflow parking area located in a pasture just east of the unloading area. Parking is not allowed on the north side of the road next to the canal.  All ATVs and dirtbikes must stay completely off of and away from the road and should not use the road for any reason including going around vehicles parked in parking area.  Overflow parking and camping is reserved for those with event passes only, riders can get an event pass at the Jamboree.  For more information, click here.

FOOD - There will be at least two or three food vendors at the event serving breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday and maybe on Friday evening.  Genoa has four places to eat and has one grocery store. 

CAMPING - Camping is allowed in the parking area, the over flow parking area, and other nearby camp areas.  If you are camping in other areas beside the main parking area and overflow areas, you must trailer and unload your machine in the main unloading area. In the weir bridge park, machines must remain behind the cables. Please pick up all your trash and place it in the trash receptacles provided. Small open fires under 3 feet in diameter are permitted away from vehicles, trails, jetties and other combustible material. The Sheriff  WILL BE monitoring and checking for alcohol use in parking, camping and picnic areas.  The Sheriff's Department have been hired for 24 hour security.  Overflow parking and camping is reserved for those with event passes only, riders can get an event pass at the Jamboree.

Fullerton has two convenience stores, a grocery store, two steak houses and several cafes.

A WARNING ABOUT DRINKING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES - The Sheriffs Department will be monitoring alcohol use.  We have hired additional officers to patrol the parking and camping areas all night until 7 AM each day. 

Those under the age of 21 in possession or under the influence of alcohol will be ticketed.  Over 12 people were arrested for minor in possession at the 2010 summer jamboree.  Several people were investigated for drug possession.  MIP enforcement is expected to be strict this event.  

While the jamborees have been reasonably trouble free, in order to ensure that we have a civil event, enforcement will be tougher this year with alcohol, drugs AND oversized fires and we have extra space reserved at the jail for arrests!  Those with alcohol will be ordered to dump the alcohol if observed by law enforcement.

ANYONE being a nuisance, drunk or not will be arrested.   No fire works.  The Nance County drug dog will be on duty.  The State Patrol will also be patrolling the roads into town and around Headworks. There WILL BE spot checks of ID’s by law enforcement including the beach and trails. Please don't drink and ride at the Jamboree. Alcohol use WILL BE monitored at events on Saturday and Sunday. 

Everyone is expected to follow the posted rules.  The Nance County Sheriff’s Department now has the authority to remove anyone violating the rules or acting in an irresponsible manner.  People can now be suspended from the park for a specified length of time, depending upon the offense and the discretion of the investigating officer.  Anyone who is found in the park during a removal suspension will be charged with Criminal Trespassing and arrested since they will be given written notice at the time they were originally removed.  At the Fall Jamboree this was used for the first time and about half dozen persons who were removed for one year based on the problems they caused.

MINORS!!!  EVERYONE UNDER 18 MUST HAVE AN COMPLETED NOHVA PERMISSION LETTER TO RIDE OR WATCH EVENTS, RIDE AT THE AREA, RIDE WITH SOMEONE ELSE, OR STAY IN THE ATV PARKING AND CAMPING AREA.  Anyone under 16 years of age MUST be there with their parents.

ALL THOSE UNDER THE AGE OF 16 MUST BE UNDER THE DIRECT SUPERVISION OF A PARENT, A DESIGNATED RESPONSIBLE ADULT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN AT ALL TIMES.   

Direct supervision is defined as “the minor under 16 must be within DIRECT VIEW of the parent, adult or guardian at all times”.  Anyone under 16 is not allowed to “ride around” in the parking area or any trails unless they are in the direct view of the parent, adult or guardian, even with all letters and releases completed.
