RVs and Super RVs welcome. (If you are driving in from another state and plan on showing up Thursday night or staying Sunday night PLEASE let me know in advance. I have to pay the fairgrounds an extra nightly fee.)

-=<THE GRUMPY CUP VIP GUARANTEE >=-

I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. (I'm still learning) It is hard to judge meat and food costs and such easily. I don't want to overcharge friends. I dont want to go in the negatives shooting myself in the foot tho either with 3-4 meals. etc.. Meat costs are outrageous right now! :)

If you TRULY don't think you got the VIP experience you paid for PLEASE let us know why not. If this is something we can fix - we will. And if we feel you aren't just trying to get freebies or take advantage of us you can come back NEXT Grumpy Cup as a VIP again for 1/2 price!
