-Mount Vernon Parks Department - 336-6215 Talked to Rochelle. She said I had to fill out a special event application-35$.
Rochelle said I have to get insurance. I can probably pay monthly fee. Mount Vernon goes thru WCIA website: ebi-ins.com/tulip. I will most likely have to set up in a park. I can set up for as long as requested - 5 to 7 days maybe but not gauranteed. Not likely I will have to pay to set up in location.
