Electric
  • All Pavilions have electric outlets. PLEASE do not put multiple crock pots on a single outlet. It is recommended that crock pots be spread out on separate outlets and limited to 2-3 total. Overloading will cause the breaker to blow and there is no guarantee an employee will be able to come fix the issue in a timely manner.
