NNSF Star Party 2020 update

Post by Huggy »

NNSF is still a go, but it will be scaled down from normal. No lectures, no meals provided, and single room occupancy. Registration is open and is limited as space provides.

Event Contingency Due to COVID

Due to the nature of COVID and Long Lake operations, Long Lake cannot guarantee any scheduled event will take place. We will do our best to notify all participants if the need for cancellation arises with as much warning as possible, however short notice cancellations may be necessary to ensure safety.

Please reach out with any questions!

Thank you,
