The Library shall provide and pay for the following at their sole cost and expense:
- Library balloon show does not require a stage but does need a ceiling height of 8 feet or more to have a great show – if less, please notify Dale.
- The library show requires a preferred 10 X 12 – performance area but can work in a smaller footprint if needed. Families may sit on the ground near the stage but require a marked-off area preventing crowds from entering the performance area.

- 1.5 to 2-hour setup/soundcheck in a staging area, best without an audience, if possible, on the day of the event.
- A working electrical outlet (AC power) less than 20 feet from the back of the stage area.
- Four batteries, NEW Duracell® Coppertop AA Alkaline Batteries
- One chair or stool is to be used in the show.
- A dressing/changing area is required to quickly change from load in close to show close—preferably employee restrooms.
A cold bottle of Mt. Dew and one bottle of water.

If parking is foreseen to be a problem, please provide a parking space for loading/unloading close to the staging area.
