There's no cost to reserve your seat. I'm not sure where you see that. There are other events happening with this organization, including the Kokanee Fishing Derby happening. That may have a reservation price because it's a fundraiser for the organization. But this event is FREE for active duty members and veterans.

If you're planning on attending this event, please click the link to reserve your seat. Spots are limited.

Again, this is a free event for active duty members and veterans. Take advantage of this unique opportunity.

Was not free even when I selected the veteran option for discount... Still had to enter credit card info and was charged $100 to reserve a seat for my dad who is a vet... There was no way around that... You should try it from the website... It said there were 25 seats available and for this event and so on...

[Kingofthemountain83]

When you get to this part... I clicked I'll send check... Cause it's free... So I wasn't going to actually... And it said his seat wouldn't be saved until they received the $100... And there was only 25 seats...

I have been to this event before but I just registered without any $100.00 hold/payment/etc.  I will cancel my registration so someone that hasn't attended can attend, I just wanted to test what you were reporting.  It looks like you went to  https://theblacktailcoach.com/ and registered vs. https://www.crossthedivide.us/ctdevents

I would contact Dave and let them know your mistake so they can refund you and also remove your registration from their event.

May it have something to do with I chose the Olympia location instead of Silverdale...

I wish I were closer, Silverdale. Thanks for supporting military and vets!

Not if it required the $100.00 deposit.  I can tell by the form style that it appears you registered via the blacktail coach website, which are their standard events and do cost.  If you follow this link, you will register for the veterans course

https://form.jotform.com/260544038045149

and the form will be super-imposed over a Blacktail.

Hope that helps.

I appreciate it! Either way I don't mind donating to the cause a little... Seems like he does great things for military and such...
