CANCELLATIONS
If bad weather forces us to cancel the fireworks, we still have to pay for the unused fireworks, the pyrotechnician, the permit fees, and all the other non-refundable expenses, so please consider this the following year when we ask you to buy raffle tickets or make a donation. Likewise, if the parade is cancelled, the money spent on programs, judges, mailings, signs, permits, stationery, etc. is money we cannot recover. We don't cancel either one unless we have no other choice.
