No smoking reminder

Reminder that all RIWA events are held in local schools that prohibit SMOKING. Please be respectful of these facilities and their NO SMOKING policies! We have not been invited back to certain schools because of disrespectful parents who ignored multiple warnings about NO SMOKING ON SCHOOL GROUNDS. No Tobacco also means no Vaping!

Any cancelation that takes place after purchase, or after the event has been passed, will not be refunded.
