Friends of Deckers Creek and Morgantown Utility Board are joining forces again to host our famous rain barrel workshops!

For the purchase of one registration, you will receive a food-grade rain barrel and a universal diverter kit, normally a $90-$200 value.

During the workshop FODC and MUB staff will show you how to assemble and install the barrel. One registration purchase will equal one barrel and kit per person/group registered. Spots are limited so please don't wait to register - last year's workshops sold out hours after registration opened.

The event will take place rain or shine or snow, If you have lived in Morgantown long enough, you know why we say this. fortunately, this year's event will be held in a climate controlled conference room, what a time to attend.

FAQs

Tickets go on sale March 31! This event is expected to sell out quick, as grandma always said, the early bird gets the worm.

What if I miss the workshop?

We apologize, but we generally cannot schedule special pick-up dates, and can't offer refunds.

Do I have to attend the whole workshop to receive the barrel?

Yes. You will have a chance to learn about rain barrel installation and stormwater runoff. We cannot provide a barrel unless you are present for the entire workshop.

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?

Please bring a vehicle large enough to bring your barrels home. There will be free parking at the event. If you have a small vehicle, get creative, we have seen a couple of people take their ranbarrels home on bicycles.

Upon arrival at the Morgantown Utility Board facility off of Green Bag Road, please pull through the gates and park in the designated parking area.

Can you deliver the barrels?

No, we are unable to deliver the barrels.

Please bring a vehicle large enough to transport a barrel that holds around 55 gallons of water. We have seen barrels fit in the backseat of 4-door sedans (e.g. Toyota Corolla); however, if going in the backseat, bring a blanket because the barrels may be dusty/dirty.

What should I bring to the event?

Yourself! Also, please bring a way to transport a 55 gallon barrel. We cannot deliver barrels.

Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Contact Friends of Deckers Creek at [email protected] or at 304-292-3970 with any questions.

Is my registration/ticket transferrable?

You can transfer your registration up to a week before the workshop. Email [email protected].

What is the refund policy?

We are unable to accommodate refunds.

Can I register twice to receive two barrels?

Please only one registration per household. We hope to provide as many people with the opportunity to get barrels as we possibly can. If you are interested in getting multiple barrels, please contact [email protected] to make future arrangements.
