Thank You for Making Fall Down a Raging Success!
Wow—what an incredible weekend at Fall Down! We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who helped make this event one for the books. It's moments like these that remind us why The G Lodge is such a special place.
Special Shoutouts
Krystal, my go-to for all things festival planning! She’s always on the lookout—whether it's on Facebook Marketplace or elsewhere—making sure we have everything we need for the weekend.
Bryan for jumping in and power washing the water tanks, setting up the heavy stuff, and always being on trash can duty.
Moo, Kaden, Trinity, Abby, Cody, Tank, Joey, JoJo, and Peyton—all of Krystal & Bryan’s crew—thank you for holding down the fort in so many ways. Moo, your t-shirts and decor with the Cricut were a hit! Kaden, you and Mike crushed it at the Country Kitchen with that Blackstone, and Tank, Joey, Abby, Cody, Trinity, and JoJo, thank you for running the ticket booth and enforcing our new festival policies. Peyton, thanks for making sure all the kids had a safe and fun time!
Jamie, thank you for showing up early to help get things set up. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Ray of Sunshine, for helping us rip out that tree stump and regrade the area in front of the Wagon Stage to be the most danceable it’s ever been.
Ed and Poncho, thank you for passing through and holding down the general store and selling raffle tickets like pros. You helped pool $417 in the 50/50 raffle to benefit the Hannibal Free Library’s Children's Room floor! Special shoutout to Jake Penna from the band Mustard Tigers who won the raffle and chose to donate more than half of his winnings back, bringing the total donation to $312!
Ryan Bice, thank you for the donated tickets to the SOLD OUT Blind Owl Band reunion show—this raffle brought in $350, going directly toward our property taxes, which helps keep this space up and running for everyone to enjoy!
Angie, thank you for donating the hay and toys for the Sunshine Stage and always being down to lend a hand anytime a hand is needed.
Jaesic, for holding a safe place for children to get up on stage and express themselves! Here’s to more fun Talent Shows and workshops in the future.
Miss Casey and the Muck Duck Crew, Casey for facilitating art experiences for attendees of all ages, and to the crew for keeping those trash cans clean, handling dishes like champions, and tackling the massive job of taking down the Sunshine Tent—thank you!
Derek and Fara, you were always there when needed, helping out with wristbands, and staying on Sunday to help clean up. We appreciate you both so much!
Reena, your cooking never disappoints, and your chicken and dumplings are legendary!
My Dad, Darren, AKA Hey Dude, for organizing yet another kick-ass lineup of music. He really knows where to find the good tunes.
I know I am forgetting some indivuals here, but know that you certinaly did not go unappreciated.
Thanks to Everyone Who Attended!
We also want to thank everyone who attended Fall Down this year and followed our new policies (Responsible Parenting Policy, Field Parking, and Pets Policy). Your cooperation helped create a fun, safe, and welcoming environment for all.
Fundraising Success!
Together, we raised $312 for the Hannibal Free Library and $350 towards our property taxes. Your generosity helps ensure we can continue to host these events and support our local community. Totaling $662 - that’s $235 MORE than we raised at the last event!! We’re hoping to keep those numbers on the rise!
Looking Forward to 2025!
We’re already planning for next season and are excited to announce the formation of a G-Lodge Events Committee! If you’re interested in joining and helping us organize, decorate, market, fundraise, or contribute in any way, we’d love to hear from you. Meetings will take place bi-weekly over the winter and weekly during event season, both via video chat and in person. Reach out if you’d like to get involved!
A Huge Thank You to All the Bands and Performers
As essential parts of this community, the performers seem to go above and beyond every time, making the G Lodge what it is. Special shoutouts to Tyler Westcott for his help in the kitchen and Mike Brown for fixing up the jukebox!
