CCCF STAGE AVAILABLE FOR RENT



The CCCF Community Stage Team has released details on rental of the stage to other Cass County organizations. The stage, purchased by a Cass County Community Foundation grant, is a 36ft. trailer which opens for a 14ft x 32ft stage floor, and is equipped with sound, lighting and other features. Cost to rent the mobile equipment includes transportation and set-up. The rental fee varies by the type of organization and number of days the stage is in use.

A completed rental agreement and deposit are due at the time of scheduling and must be submitted at least 60 days prior to the event. Some restrictions for use do apply and renters will be required to have appropriate insurance as well as hire a stage supervisor and technicians from an approved list.

The stage is approved for use only in Cass County and scheduled on a “first come, first served” basis with 2016 dates filling up.

Qualified individuals who would like to be considered for training as supervisors or technicians must apply at the Logansport Parks Department and be able to pass a background check.
