Each year, except for two, 1987 our 1st year, and then again in 2020 the pandemic year, Stage 5 has given out hundreds of Stage 5 picks. Every year is a different color or script or logo .. some are five year anniversary issues and some are printed on both sides. These are true Walnut Valley Festival collector items.
If you have some Stage 5 picks, here is the place to determine the year. There are complete descriptions below the picture.

This is a complete set of Stage 5 picks from the beginning in 1987 through 2025.
There have been two years that we did not produce picks. 1987 – the first year of Stage 5 and in 2020 – the pandemic year.
