Camp Bisco staff will register your entry and mount the art along the mural art wall. Voting will take place through an innovative easy-to use text-messaging interface.

Get there early to make sure the thousands of attendees see your painting as they enter the festival site!

For the fifth year, the festival will host Color Wars, a team-based multi-event contest among hundreds of festival goers. “What started as a way for many to pass the daytime hours, until the earthshaking beats of the Disco Biscuits drew us to the stage, has grown into a major festival attraction, ” explains Jonathan Fordin of MCP Presents. Trivia, the “Bacon-Off” and Tug-o-war are among the activities along with the old classics of dodge ball, volleyball, and scavenger hunts.

CAMP BISCO 2008 : COLOR WAR ANNOUNCEMENT
Strangers Helping Strangers is coming to Camp Bisco this year to run a food drive for The Schenectady Inner City Ministries Food Bank. We at the Color Wars camp have offered up the 4 teams to help out with this!
We'll be collecting canned and non-perishable items on Friday during Color War, and the team with the MOST items collected will be awarded extra bonus points towards their 
potential victory.
Food drives have been pretty successful at Biscuits shows in the recent past, and I expect that you all can come up with some pretty decent snacks for the Schenectady Inner City Ministries Food Bank.
To the rest of you NOT competing, you can still donate just out of the goodness of your heart, and put items towards a team if you want to. You don't need that extra can of baked beans anyway! You can leave your goods with us or you can look for the Strangers Helping Strangers tent in the vendor area. Feel free to donate any non perishable food to their wonderful cause!
We're looking forward to camp more and more each day, and knowing that the 4 teams will be helping this great cause makes me even happier that our little competition has grown so much.
SEE YOU IN A WEEK!
Good Morning Campers!
Team Bisco
