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.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have some Stage 5 picks, here is the place to determine the year. There are complete descriptions below the picture.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
