Cancellation Policy
All space fees are non-refundable. Weather Policy: Because of our full calendar of events, we cannot reschedule Mum Fest for a future weekend if adverse weather arises. Therefore, we will not make any refunds for cancellations due to weather. If inevitable inclement weather is expected, we will email all vendors with updates. We will try to hold Mum Fest even if we do have some rain in the forecast. If we are required to cancel due a severe/hazardous weather event, we will make every effort to notify you in advance by any means we feel fit; however, no credits or refunds will be issued. To protect your tent, it must be sturdy enough to withstand Central Illinois weather. Also, you need to have enough weights on each pole of your tent as our farm does not have a lot of wind breaks. Generally, a 40-50-pound weight per each tent leg is standard.
