Rental Fees for the Agri Park Pavilion have changed for the 2020 season.

The pavilion can be rented for a maximum of 8 hours per event, unless a special request is submitted and is approved by Agri Park Staff.

Invoices will be sent out approximately one week after your event is approved.  You will receive an invoice by both mail and email, unless otherwise requested.  Your rental fee is due in full 7 days after the receipt of your invoice by email.  If payment is not received by the due date, your event will be cancelled without notice.  If a reservation is cancelled due to non-payment, that party will not be allowed to reserve the park in the future.

**If you do not use email, please let us know at the time of booking so that your payment due date can be calculated based on estimated mailing times instead of the date your invoice is emailed.

Reservations may be cancelled by calling 479-502-9835.
