A shaded area must be available for the duration of the appearance.*
During adverse weather conditions, costumed characters must be provided with dry ground and shelter from rain/snow or appearance will be cancelled with no refund to avoid irreparable damage to the costume.

NOTE: "PARTIES IN PARKS" For "SAFETY" reasons, we will no longer book Costumed Characters in "PARKS". Reason: Strangers or Rat Packs have a tendency to use character heads as punching bags oblivious to the fact a "Real Person" is within... At small, neighborhood-friendly parks, our Entertainer must be met at the Entrance & Escorted to your party area - NO EXCEPTIONS!
