Family Days site, and sponsors will be responsible for the conduct of their guests. • All personnel entering any gate will receive a bracelet on both Friday and Saturday. A draw ticket will be attached to the bracelet, which will be removed by staff and en- tered for draw prizes. • Prize draws begin at 2 p.m. each day in the PSP Enter- tainment Tent. An entry bracelet must be shown to gain access to the tent for draws, and any alteration to this bracelet will void your ticket for prize draws. • Most DND Family Days activities are free, but cash is re- quired for carnival games, to purchase barbecue tickets or items from food truck vendors, and for alcoholic bever- ages. • The Harbour Hopper will be on site for Friday only, and tickets, available for free at the Murphy’s on the Water tent, are required for a ride. Tickets go fast, and guests are encouraged to get them early. Rides begin at 12:15 p.m. • Closed-toe shoes are required to take advantage of RHIB rides in the harbour. • Plan for varying weather, as June can be unpredictable. Sunscreen is recommended, but bringing a sweater is also a good idea. • Pets will not be allowed into the Dockyard during Family Days.
