The amount due must be paid at least 7 days in advance of the event or the event will be cancelled.

Depending on the time of year and the size of your event, a minimum of 3-4 weeks processing time may be required.

The user group and the undersigned hereby agree to indemnify and undertake to save and hold harmless the McDowell County Board of Education from any and all claims for damages to person or property that may arise out of the use of the facility and/or special equipment, without regard to whether the damage, personal or otherwise, is brought about or caused by the undersigned, the McDowell County Board of Education, or any other person, organization, firm or corporation. The undersigned shall assume responsibility for all damage to school buildings, equipment and facilities caused by the use or directly attributed to the use of the school facility or equipment.
