Be prepared to snake through the parking lot!

Please be prepared to snake though the parking lot. In order to be good neighbors and keep traffic off the roadways, carpool will need to snake through the parking lot. Cones will be set up to guide you. Please do not drive through or over any cones. Be sure to follow staff directions.
