Here is a quick list of what to expect in your Stagecoach Instagram feed:
•Henny Penny: Henny Penny is a ginormous white chicken with a large “Stagecoach” sign above her. People were taking photos of her (and getting on her) all day. A sign in front of her read “She (loves) photos!!”
• Stagecoach belt buckle: The belt buckle is a combination of silver, gold and bronze with a person on it riding a bull.
• Cactus replica: It’s exactly what it sounds like, a large cactus with hay surrounding it that’s more than ready for people to take photos with. It’s set up in front of the Half-Pint Hootenanny family area.
• Hootenanny jail: A jail photo spot is a must-do at a country music festival. People can pose in a replica jail with a wooden building and prison-like bars in front of the opening.
• Sunflowers: Alternate title: “Thanks, Anne Geddes.” People are poking their heads through holes in a large piece of plywood and coming out the other side as sunflowers. This is another family friendly photo op.
• Greetings from Coachella: While simple, this sign featured the “Greetings from Stagecoach California’s Music Festival” on a couple of large poles and included hay for people to stand on. This is clearly the photo you send to your family at home with a text that says, “Wish you were here.”
• Giant rocking chairs: These oversized blue chairs, did not actually move but did have long lines of people willing to wait to sit in them and get their photo taken. They’re so large that for some festival-goers they doubled as a shady spot to lounge under.
• Tower of Twelve Stories: Making a return from the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, this art is large, white and comprised of many different shapes. People were using it for shade while watching the Toyota Mane stage acts.
• Calico Cactus: Another ginormous sign, this was one was a painting of a large green cactus with the words “Welcome to Stagecoach” on it.
• Tractor exhibit: This exhibit, which featured some John Deere and other makes, featured new and older tractors with colors ranging from green to yellow and red. Also featured were large replicas of sunflowers and corn. People seemed unable to stop taking photos near it.
• Stagecoach photo wall: This, Instagram-ready spot is basically an open wooden square with the word “Stagecoach” in its classic font across the front. Groups of people stood in line to take photos in front of it.
• Budweiser Country Club tractor: A red tractor, similar to the some of the ones at the tractor exhibit, will likely be a constant presence in your Instagram feed. Lots of young people took photos on top of it, often sacrificing some beer while climbing up.
• Hang your hat bench: This photo opportunity was essentially a massive cowboy hat that one could sit on the brim with the words “Stagecoach 10 years” on a wall behind it. A couple of skulls with horns coming out the head were also on the same wall.
• His and Hers Buckaroo Boots: These cowboy and cowgal boots were set up on either side of the Mane Stage and featured fun western-themed patterning.
