The parking lot directly adjacent to Hall has been allocated for the use of the Hall.

We never know when the Fire Company will be toned for an incident, resulting in emergency vehicle traffic on the premises.

Fire Alarm Response Information: 

In the event the Fire Company is toned out for an incident, we ask that all members of the event remain inside the facility, due to the increased amount of traffic that will be entering and exiting the property.

In the event of an alarm here in the facility, you and your guests should evacuate the building and stage, at a safe distance, in the parking lot outside the large double doors you and your guests entered through.
