Adequate personnel for setting up, taking down, and moving furniture shall be provided by the caterer and supervised by Oakland Green Farm personnel. No furniture or objects belonging to Oakland Green Farm may be moved without the approval of the owners. The caterer or the contract organization/individual should also supply suitable trash receptacles and must remove all trash and empty bottles/containers after the event. We must charge $100 if this is overlooked.

NOTE TO BARTENDER: Please do not empty liquid onto grass — it kills! It would be appreciated if liquid could be emptied into a pail or bucket and then disposed of at the driveway (where there is gravel to absorb).

5. A family member of Oakland Green Farm will be present to supervise the main house during the event, to answer questions of historical nature, etc.
