1. Be early: The early bird gets the cupcake.

2. Bring seating: chairs or blankets and mark your turf.

3. Divide and conquer: Hit up a few different trucks with friends, then share the goodies.

4. Find a volunteer: Volunteers will be able to answer questions and direct you to your favorite trucks.

5. Park far from the trucks: longer trek but faster getaway.

6. Hitch a ride: Mini of St. Louis will have Countrymen roaming the park to help get hungry truckies to the event.

7. Make a night of it: Enjoy the community atmosphere while waiting in line or lounging on the lawn.

8. Something old, something new: Enjoy your favorite food truck dishes and try something new. Who knows? You just might find a new go-to.

9. Tell your friends: Tweet your favorite dishes #FTFfave so friends and fellow truckies know what to order.

10. Recycling matters: Take a minute to put the proper containers in trash or recycling bins. Clearly marked cans and bins will be all along the line, making it easy to keep the park as clean as it was when you arrived.

Most of all, have fun! This is an event where some of the city’s most creative culinary minds come together. Enjoy the food, the park and the people!
