Equipment & Sound System

The activities room of FLC is equipped with a sound system which can be used for events. AN ADDITIONAL $50 FEE WILL BE CHARGED for use of the sound system (this covers set up for our staff who will be needed to set and run sound for your party). In addition, FLC requires at least a week's notice for sound system use. This allows us time to schedule a staff person to set up and possibly run sound for your event if needed. Parties are always welcome to utilize their own portable sound systems for music if they desire in order to avoid the $50 sound system fee.

Remember that use of the sound system will require you to pay an additional $50 fee. Use of the sound system requires at least a week notice, with no exceptions, as we will need to schedule a staff person to set up the sound system for your event, and possibly attend your event to run sound.

Table Cloths

Walkthrough

We recommend that you schedule a walkthrough prior to your event if you are unfamiliar with our facilities. This allows you the ability to familiarize yourself with table/chair storage location, etc., so that it will be as easy as possible for you to set up and tear down your event.

Please call (806) 355-9100 and ask to schedule a walkthrough.
