The fee for the event is $10 and Garrettsville village permits are waived if you register for this chamber event.

This annual event is not limited to village residents, Windham, Hiram, Nelson, Freedom residents are encouraged to participate as well. If one lives out of the region and they want to participate, they can register for a space at the bowling alley in town or at Freedom Park, and an additional charge may apply for these spaces.
