bag/change, etc. Help will be available for transporting items to your location.

Gates open to

Location:  This is an outdoor event.  In case of inclement weather, the festival will be moved
inside the school.  We've done this before, and it works out just fine.

Thanks so much for your interest and participation!  Fair thee well!
