RLRF Policies

Disclaimer:

Entrance onto the Faire site deems the person as a “patron” and indicates that they understand the Red Lodge Renaissance Faire Site Policies. Such privilege may be revoked without refund for noncompliance by the Red Lodge Renaissance Faire Management. “Patron(s)” assumes all risks occurring before, during or after event, including injury by any cause, and releases the Red Lodge Renaissance Faire Management, (or those working under their direction), the Red Lodge Rodeo Association, Red Lodge Rodeo Association representatives and personnel from any related claims.

Weapons:

Concealed and open carry firearms are prohibited at the Red Lodge Renaissance Faire Site, except as required by law with regards to law enforcement personnel with properly presented credentials. This includes period piece firearms. Period Arms: These arms are described as weapons relevant to the period portrayed while in costume. Such arms may include, but are not limited to: swords, daggers, maces, bows and arrows, and pikes. All arms must be secured or “peace tied” (cannot be removed from a sheath or belt) to the guest at all times in a holster protecting the blade and may not be removed from the holster. Any exposed blade or point must be of stage combat grade and must not pose a risk of injury to the guest or others. Arrows being carried as costume adornment must be “peace tied” together and/or have the arrow tips removed. If period firing weapons are made completely out of plastics, resin, wood or foam without moving parts they are allowable, but still need to be peace tied and holstered. Security personnel are available at the front gate area to assist guests with the securing of weapons. Cut the peace-tie or wave your weapon around and you’re going to be asked to leave. Any person in possession of a weapon that is determined to be unsafe or unable to be made safe will be requested to secure it in their vehicle or remove it from the Faire Site.

Food/Drugs/Alcohol:

No outside food or beverages may be brought onto the site. Use of Marijuana or illegal drugs WILL NOT be allowed anywhere on the Red Lodge Rodeo Grounds/Red Lodge Renaissance Faire Site.

Smoking/Vaping:

Smoking and/or Vaping is prohibited on Faire grounds, but is allowed in designated areas only OUTSIDE the Faire grounds.

Pet Policy:

The Red Lodge Renaissance Faire is committed to providing an accessible and welcoming environment for all guests, including those with disabilities who rely on trained service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Montana Human Rights Act.

Service Animal Guidelines:

· Only dogs trained to perform specific tasks related to a disability are permitted.
· In compliance with the Montana Act, service animals should wear attire that clearly identifies them as service animals.
· Emotional support animals, therapy animals, or pets are not considered service animals under the ADA and are not allowed at the Faire.

Verification Process:

Faire staff may ask two questions if the service status of a dog is not obvious:

1. Is this dog required because of a disability?

2. What task or work has the dog been trained to perform?

No documentation, certification, or special gear (vests, ID tags) is required. However, the service animal must remain under control at all times.

Service Animal Conduct Requirements:

· The animal must be leashed, harnessed, or under effective voice control at all times.
· The animal must be housebroken and may not relieve itself in inappropriate areas.
· If a service animal is out of control, aggressive, or causing a significant disruption, the handler may be asked to remove it from the Event.

For the safety of all guests, pets and emotional support animals are not allowed at the Red Lodge Renaissance Faire. Any guest attempting to bring a non-service animal onto the Faire grounds will be asked to remove it immediately
