**CONDITIONS AND EXCEPTIONS**
**PLEASE NOTE: In the future, there will be NO BOOKINGS for the model/float before JUNE 20th. or after Delhi Harvest Fest Parade in SEPTEMBER!
Any and ALL bookings must be made within this time frame. The model/float will be placed in storage for the winter months immediately following the last parade in Waterford (Waterford Pumpkinfest)!**
<><><><><><><>
***Inclement Weather***
In the event of inclement weather, the model/float (TITANIC) ***WILL NOT be in parades, OR be on "outdoor exhibit"*** UNLESS the "model/float" can be unloaded, displayed and reloaded under "DRY" conditions! In the event that a fee was charged for an exhibit, we will keep "only half" of the fee to cover our expenses to and from the exhibit place and the other half of the fee will be returned. The exhibit CAN be re-scheduled.
However, if the "scheduled exhibit" is cancelled BEFORE the "delivery date", then the "entire fee" will be returned. We regret any inconvenience caused by last minute cancellations due to the "weather" OR "unforeseen" mechanical failure. ***Although the model/float is a ship, I can assure you it is NOT water-proof and has electrical components on board that can be severely damaged if exposed to water! We thank you for your interest in TITANIC and look forward to assisting in "special" events providing these above conditions and exceptions are understood and accepted.
Thank you

The TITANIC model/float will be in the following parades, fully detailed and with "operating whistles"!! These whistles are a "Digital Recording" of the actual whistles from Titanic.
When the "whistles" were recovered during a salvage operation, they were refurbished and then blown for the first time, since the ship sank after hitting an iceberg, April 15th, 1912.
Fortunately, "Titanic-The Exhibition" had the foresight to "digitally record" the sound during the test-blowing of the whistles, before hanging the whistles in the museum for everyone to see and enjoy.
Then a "complimentary" digital-copy of the sound was sent to us at CTS, to use in the "model/float" of TITANIC, and also on the model page on the CTS Web Site, whereas you can, by pointing your "mouse", at the top of the first funnel, you will also hear the "whistles" sounding!
Enjoy, and have a great day!!-Norm
