CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - Threats of severe weather have led to the cancellation of the Paws in the Park event scheduled for April 1.
“I have spent the morning consulting with many sources, and it breaks my heart to announce that we cannot safely hold ‘Paws in the Park,’” according to an announcement from the organizers.
Organizers said it’s more than just a little bit of rain that led to the decision.
“It is not about the rain necessarily, even though I know many vendors were already planning on canceling because of it but rather the high wind gusts that are expected. We were scheduled to have over 120 vendor tents set up and the risk of someone getting hurt from flying debris is simply too great. Our first priority is the SAFETY of everyone involved and I know you all understand that canceling is not a decision any of us wanted to make. Due to the nature of our event, we are not able to issue refunds or roll fees over to the next time,” according to the announcement.
