There are public restrooms in the brown building by the ticketing tent.   \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				What if the weather is bad?\n				Cannon battles will continue rain or shine\, unless conditions are deemed unsafe by the captains. If the battle is canceled due to weather\, you will receive a refund. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Is there a place to sit?\n				There are areas to sit on each ship.
