This act shall bind me, as well as my heirs, family and assigns.

As a participant or volunteer, I am solely responsible for the behavior, well-being and safety of myself, any minor children brought under my care, and all of my personal belongings, including any animals, brought with me to the event.

This waiver and hold harmless shall apply in favor of the 10/31 Consortium and all its contractors, officers, directors, volunteers, and staff, regardless whose act, fault or negligence shall have led to any such injury, harm or damage.
