Drop off and Pick-up of quilt entries:

 

The Clark County Parks and Recreation Center is located at 225 Al Smith Circle, Berryville, VA.

 

1. You must drop off your items at the Clark County Parks and Recreation Center (CCPRC) on Thursday, April 11 between the hours of 9:30 A.M. and 11:30 A.M.  Your items will be signed in, tagged, and a receipt for each item will be given to the person bringing in the items. You must keep these receipts, as you must have them in order to have your items returned to you when you pick them up on Sunday.

2. To make the process faster once you arrive, please have your quilt folded with the BACK out, corner on top, so that your label is showing.

3.  You must pick up your items at the CCPRC between 4:45 P.M. and 5:30 P.M. on Sunday, April 14. Every effort will be made to have all quilts available for pick-up by 4:45 P.M. Please trust that our volunteers will be preparing them as quickly as possible for pickup, but it is possible that you may have a short wait. We greatly appreciate patience from all participants!

4. When picking up your items please have your receipt ready that you were given at registration on Thursday. They are proof of ownership and are required when picking up your items. No items will be released without the receipt!

5. You must sign for each item that you pick up. If you are personally not able to pick up your items, please inform us at the time of drop off and make sure your representative has your receipt or your items will not be released.
