WEATHER RELATED CANCELLATIONS: Our first goal will be to hold the event as scheduled when reasonable. Should winter weather conditions be such a cancellation is necessary then staff will work with the renter to reschedule the event when possible. Should rescheduling the event not be possible then a refund will be granted minus a $10 processing fee or 15% of the rental fee.
