2008 Registration Ends Friday, Oct 17, 2008

NOTE: We have had had to make a change to the cutoff date that was originally advertised. The cutoff date for new registration for the 2008 event is no later than Oct 17, 2008. Families who register on Oct 18 or later will be eligible to attend next year’s event and will be placed on a waiting list for the 2008 event but must assume they are not coming. Snowball Express will notify those families if cancellations occur that allow them to attend the 2008 event. We regret having to make this decision but hope families will continue to register so they can take advantage of the other events that are occurring throughout the year across the country.
