Due to the sheer number of people involved, part of the planning was in the involvement of the EMS and Fire Services in case of an emergency occurring on the grounds. Fortunately, most of the injuries and illnesses occurring over the two days were minor, with only one person being transported to the hospital for an injury. The remaining persons were treated and released.\
