Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why don't you take credit cards? A: We are keeping with the 1902 theme! More importantly, the lack of internet in the grove prevents digital processing. By using cash and checks, we avoid high processing fees, ensuring 100% of your VIP funds go directly to the Whip Building and Banquet Hall restorations.

​

​

Q: Where can I find an ATM? A: There is one ATM on site in the Mom and Pop's cafe; however, you need to pay cash at the gate to enter. There are several banks and ATMs located within a 5-minute drive in Easton. We strongly recommend stopping before you enter the park.

​

Q: Can I pay for my Vendor Fee with a check? A: Yes! Business or personal checks are accepted. Please see our [Get Involved] page for mailing instructions to our Sunbury office.

​

Q: Is the park still open after Sunday? A: Yes! While the fundraiser ends Sunday night, the park continues its regular season operations. Come back and see us!
