Cancellation Policy
Hey there, morel hunter! Before you grab your ticket and start dreaming about golden fungi, here are a few things to know: ๐ง๏ธ Rain or Shine โ Morels Love the Rain, and So Will You! Letโs be realโif we only foraged on sunny days, weโd all be eating grocery store mushrooms. The Black Morel Hootenanny happens no matter what the weather throws at usโbecause morels donโt take rain checks, and neither do we! Pack a raincoat, some good boots, and a sense of adventure. ๐ซ No Refunds โ But You Can Pass Your Ticket to a Fellow Fun-Guy (or Gal)! We totally get that life happens. While we canโt offer refunds, itโs not because we donโt love youโitโs because planning an event like this takes serious work, from booking shuttles to coordinating chefs and securing locations. That means every ticket sold helps make the event possible. However, if you canโt make it, youโre more than welcome to transfer your ticket to a friend. Just let us know so we donโt think some random person is stealing your morels. ๐ฅพ Nature is Not a Sidewalk Foraging means walking through real, wild terrainโthink uneven ground, the occasional mud patch, and possibly a few rogue twigs trying to trip you. If hiking through the woods isnโt your thing, this might not be your jam. But if it is your thing, we promise an unforgettable experience. ๐ง Weโll Send You the Need-to-Know Stuff Once youโre signed up, keep an eye on your inbox. Weโll send you everything you need to know before the eventโlike where to meet, what to bring, and a gentle reminder that morels donโt like to be overcooked. By purchasing a ticket, you agree that youโre in for a rain-or-shine, no-refund, adventure-packed experienceโand we canโt wait to see you there!
