Additional Appearance Requirements

To help Blizzard navigate his appearance, we ask the following be provided at each appearance:

Prior to Appearance

  1. Provide SCSU representative with accurate directions, location, on-site contact and on-site phone number.
  2. St. Cloud State University does not provide a certificate of liability insurance. The requestor assumes all responsibility when submitting the mascot request form.
  3. Prepare for and maintain a friendly and safe environment. Blizzard reserves the right to walk away from any appearance deemed unsafe or harmful. In this case, refunds (if applicable) will not be granted.

Day of Appearance

  1. Provide parking for Blizzard.
  2. Provide Blizzard with a private and secure changing room (that is not a bathroom or a closet) where belongings can be kept during appearance.
  3. Offer Blizzard water, preferably bottled.
  4. Blizzard has a one-hour limit before needing a break. If the appearance is outdoors during warm weather, plan for extra breaks during the appearance. Blizzard is unavailable during severe weather.
