- What will it sit on?Grass, Concrete or driveway, Indoor floor, Not sure

Houston notes
- Hermann Park bans petting zoos; summer heat limits animal time, so morning parties work best June-September.
- Houston storms pop up fast in spring and summer. Ask the vendor about their rain and wind policy, and have a backup spot.
