WHAT'S NEW?
NEW POLICY ON REFUND OF DEPOSITS
We regret to let our customers know that as of June 8, 2022 we will no longer refund deposits paid on trips that are cancelled.This policy has become necessary because of the large number of people who have been paying the deposit to hold a spot and then cancelling close to the date of the trip. This keeps others from being able to book the trip, and it keeps us from being able to sell the spots. We hope you will understand. We will allow customers to transfer the deposit to book another NEW trip that we have to offer. As always, anytime WE have to cancel a trip, customers are refunded in full what they have paid.
Customer Appreciation Day Sunday, March 5th Wolfe County Middle School from 2-4 PM. Free food, lots of door prizes, and lots of fun and fellowship. Come out and join us and bring a friend!
