We will no longer take pictures and print a Visitors Badge, we will begin using colored wristbands instead. The procedure is much the same, in that the Owner fills out a registration card and pays a $5.00 deposit for each guest up to $20.00 maximum if you have more than 4 guests. The deposit is refunded upon return of the wristband(s). Wristbands must be returned for a full refund within 3 days time. When the park staff strolls around the pool area, the guests just have to raise their arm for verification. If the band is lost or ruined, the wristband will be replaced for free as long as the visitor is on file as a guest. The wristband must be returned for a refund. Chester C.
