A large covered stage with speaker towers was built and added to the original pavilion in 2016.  The expanded stage is about 45x45 feet with an open height of 20 feet. The front of the stage including the sound towers is 70 feet in total width. There is a backstage green room of 30x20

The Music Barn is used as a green room and is just a few feet away from the stage. The Music Barn is 4000 sq. feet with warming kitchen, bathrooms and is heated and air conditioned. The stage has wide ramps on both sides and regular steps as methods of entering. The wide ramps are  convenient for moving sound and lighting equipment onto the stage. The ramps also make the stage fully handicap accessible. 

An access road is provided just behind the stage for off loading sound and lighting equipment. The road also provides convenient 

access for the bands and can service small or large buses. Several 50 amp outlets are available to power vans and buses next to the stage and music barn/green room. The access road is circular and loops by the barn and stage. Drivers like the circular road and do not have to back up their vehicle to park or exit the stage/barn area.

The wiring is in place for an additional 200 ampere circuit and has not been activated at this time.  The 100 ampere breaker box can be powered by a generator with a transfer switch that is built into the system. The 100 ampere backup/generator will allow the music to continue should there be an overall power outage on the farm. 

The stage is equipped with multiple outlets providing 115 & 220 volts.  The 220 volt outlets are 50 ampere. Outlets are built into the floor
