Requests
Will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Since the areas available for events and exhibits are limited and the demand is at times high, it is recommended, but not required, that requests be made at least one month in advance.
Acknowledgement
In order to schedule an event, a sponsor is required to sign an agreement that the sponsor has read, understood, and will abide by the procedures governing the use of the public areas of the OCH; that the sponsor is responsible for damages incurred as a result of its event or exhibit; that the sponsor will pay to have restored the area used for its event or exhibit to the condition that existed prior to its use; and that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Count of Lenawee for any damage or loss incurred arising out of its use of county property. Any sponsor that fails to abide by the terms of the agreement will not be permitted to schedule a future event until the outstanding obligations have been fully satisfied.
