Once on the grounds, the guests were treated to a fully stocked open bar with Tito’s, beer, Maker’s Mark, Fireball and Chick-fil-A sandwiches.  As the Capital Club members say “it’s a marathon, not a race”. But as you would guest, some people don’t follow those guidelines, but who’s to blame them? Walking down the tent lane you will see several groups partying and having an amazing time.
