I do realize that it is too early to tell and Friday would probably be the day you guys will call this.
But ,
Jeff, I realized that the website said “rain or shine. “
Yes. Thunderstorms are the exception because of the danger of lightning. I updated the website.
So if it does rain or if there is thunderstorms as you may be anticipating,
Is the group going to make a rain date for Sunday or
Cancel completely?
I wouldn't do it Sunday because I would lose most of my volunteers.
A different date is possible. I'm evaluating other dates.
If they do cancel, is there a refund policy?
As stated on the website: " * In case of inclement weather, cost will be refunded."
So if cancelled, then we will refund the money.
