If you need setup at a park you will need to contact us as well as the park in advance to determine the requirements needed to set up.

A tarp will be provided, but please make sure the ground is flat, dry, and clear from glass and debris. We do not set up on dirt, gravel, or rocks, NO EXCEPTIONS. If we arrive and either of the listed conditions are present we WILL NOT setup and you will lose all monies.
