What we checked, and when
Read off the venue's own page on 2026-10-07.
The Okaloosa County Public Library Cooperative's event page prints no entry fee.
Not confirmed: The price. The venue publishes none, so neither do we.
Not confirmed: A military rate. We searched and the venue publishes none. That is not the same as there being none, so it is worth asking.
Entrants must be 13 or older.
