VENUE

Along with the description of your event, please include how many attend or you plan on having attend. In some cases a fee may be required—this based upon the type of event, location, size, duration of event/appearance, and other factors. If a fee would be charged you'd be notified in advance to make sure you still wish to proceed with your original request. And no matter the event Chad's works and/or related merchandise must also be made available at the event for purchase.
