NOTES: 
- FRRS Life, Family Life and Sustaining members get 15% off on EventBright tickets ONLY. Not applicable to eBay Rotary cab rides. Enter promo code FRRS2019SL. 
- As weather is unpredictable, we cannot guarantee snow levels. We expect about 2-3 feet of snow on the south side of our balloon track, enough to put on quite a show. The rest of the track currently has about 1 ft of snow on it, but some will likely melt off. However, if weather does not cooperate and this event is cancelled before the day of the Rotary Run, all monies will be refunded. 
- All proceeds go to benefit the preservation work of the Western Pacific Railroad Museum.
