own expense.  Owners will hold the Ionia Free Fair harmless for any damage sustained to their
trailer/camper while being towed.

2.  One vehicle is permitted per campsite.  No parking passes may be exchanged for a campground-

the owner's expense.  Owners will hold the Ionia Free Fair harmless for any damage incurred during
towing.
