CUB’s request for $1,596 to cover ticket prices for its Snowball Weekend Bus trip to York, Pa. was denied by SFB.
The trip includes eight hours of snow tubing at the Heritage Hills Resort, a concert featuring Mark DeRose Band and Huck and a free buffet.
Due to the snowstorm the weekend of Feb. 5-6, the trip was rescheduled for Feb. 20-21. CUB representatives wanted to reduce the ticket price of $70 per person due to the cancellation and inability of many original participants to go on the new date. The ticket price remains the same and the bus departs at 8 a.m. on Feb. 20 and returns at 9 p.m. on Feb. 21.
