Insurance – It’s at a city park, it’s co-sponsored by the city, so you’d think the city’s insurance would simply cover the event. Not so simple. The city’s insurance will cover general liability, but liquor liability is another matter. The city’s insurance provider wants an additional $1,700 or some such amount to cover the city and the volunteers in the event something happens. For a one-day event???
Date – You’d think setting a date would be easy. Not so. Last year we were derailed by another local group picking the same date for a drinking event at Saima Park, raising the unacceptable specter of revelers going directly from our event to theirs, and subsequently killing someone. Conflicts are hard to anticipate.
