The Episode Where I Address Questions About The Event

Welcome back to another episode of RTB Episodes of Help, Roadies! BreyerFest brings together so many different people, including those that love plastic ponies and those that love real horses. But it also brings forward questions that many people have about the event. Here in RTB, I do my best to go over the basics of BreyerFest in the beginning many times because well, it can be confusing at the best of times!

I see a lot of repeat questions all over all of the groups and many people get a bit crabby sometimes when the same questions are asked repeatedly. This is a huge reason that I have created and maintain the files here in the group. If a question is submitted and I have not seen it before, I will add it to the FAQs here in this group. All that I ask is that you search the group before you submit a question because your question might be answered already. When a question that is submitted that I know has been asked and has an answer in the group, I will politely decline the post, but I will always give feed back with that decline that will tell you either the answer or where you can find the answer. If you feel the need to ask the question again, I ask you to please message me so that I can share either a link to the answer or a screenshot of the answer. RTB is always here to help and we have seen so many questions and answered them so we have devised the files to help answer the majority of the questions that we see.

That being said, there are likely still questions, especially if you are new to the group or new to BreyerFest. So, I will use this spot as a place to answer the burning BreyerFest questions that are on the group. All of these answers are on the group under the BreyerFest Virtual Event Planning Post Topic as well as the Files.
