and $50 for each additional hoax up to six hours. In this case the group will be
charged a total of $450 for park use rental fee. This fee incorporates the additional
two hours the group is requesting over the standard six hoax maximum. A standazd
$250 damage deposit will also be charged.

heazd throughout downtown and there is concern about being respectful of other
