Q: What if it rains?

A: Weather may result in the temporary delay or even cancellation of some or all entertainment. We can’t control it. We have to pay to put it all together whether the weather is good or not. We’ll try to give you a very memorable show……but it’s a “rain or shine,” deal and there are no refunds for delays, nonperformance or cancellations because of weather.
