Raising the Tent is not a one time project to save for, we need to continue to save money to Raise the Tent for many years to come!

Renderings

Curious what the new tent will look like? Here is a rendering of what the new tent will look like. Unlike our previous structures, the tent will stay up year-round. This is a 50-year frame (as opposed to a 25-year frame that we have had before).

This tent also requires concrete footings to go into the ground before the tent can even go up. Which means this is a major construction project. Once we have our permits from the city, we can then begin the below steps to Raise the Tent once again.
