SHINETOBERFEST is an annual festival held in October at the Saddle Sore Ranch off of Route 66 in Mohave County, AZ. It is a three day campout featuring live entertainment, games, activities, vendors, bonfires, campfire parties, contests, a chili cookoff and more... This a 21 and up ONLY event.
Bring a batch of your best moonshine and/or a pot of your best chili, and you could win some cold hard cash!!! Entrants to the moonshine and chili competitions must provide one mason jar of their moonshine or chili for judging, and at least one more mason jar to pass around the campfire. Some get pretty authentic with their moonshine distilling recipes, while others will make flavored Everclear "moonshine". Whatever it is you make, BRING IT.
As per AZ Liquor laws, passing a couple FREE jars of your best homemade ‘shine around the campfire is NOT illegal in Arizona. However, SELLING untaxed ‘shine is illegal.
Live entertainment, vendors welcome, biker games, onsite camping, nightly campfire parties, "World's Largest Outdoor Stripper Pole", ride-in bike show, and more. Cash prizes for Best Moonshine and Best Chili.
The seclusion is part of the appeal at the Saddle Sore Ranch. It allows us to have a great time, and make amazing memories, without disturbing any neighbors and without having nosey neighbors disturb us. To date, we have had thousands of people at the ranch, from around the world. They come on motorcycles, trikes, cars, trucks, rv's, motorhomes, etc. All without issue. However, please be advised that due to the road conditions in certain areas, for extended length rv's, motorhomes or vehicles pulling extended length trailers, high clearance is recommended.
