Regular Ongoing Events and Projects
While every effort is taken to ensure the accuracy of the information presented here, projects by their nature are variable at best and the VAR takes no responsibility if you drive all night or across the state to get to a project that has been changed or cancelled. If in doubt, check with the project leader first!
