Any special request will be considered if it doesn't interfere with other events. You must make arrangements ahead of time with Vendor Coordinator.

Note: Please watch carefully on Friday morning due to 400 +/- people on the grounds for KC Kid's. This is a special needs program that requires extra caution.
