They can be picked up at the registration booth throughout the event. Please communicate all cancelations from your group at the time of registration. This will help us tremendously as we can use those vacant time slots for any conflicts that may arise.
FOOD There are several options available for feeding your group during the Fine Arts Festival: Restaurants – There are many fast food restaurants within a few minutes’ drive of the event, including Arby’s, Chick-fil-A, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Skyline, Smash Burger, Chipotle, Panera, and more. If you have a large group, you may want to consider placing an order with a restaurant ahead of the festival to reduce waiting for food during the 1 hour meal breaks allotted in the Fine Arts schedule. Bring Your Own – Consider bringing a cooler with sandwiches, chips, and drinks. If the weather is nice, students can eat lunch outside or in your group’s vehicles. Christian Life Center Church Café – The church has a nice café that will be offering drinks and snacks. It would be a very good idea to bring bottled water and snacks for your whole group.
