  14. Please check FargoParks.com for inclement weather conditions.  We will try to have this  updated by 4:00 pm for cancellations.  If it does rain after that time an on-site decision may have to be made.  Sometimes on-site decisions are inevitable; we always try to give teams some kind of warning if possible (weather systems do move in quickly and just because rain is in the forecast doesn’t mean we are going to cancel).
