Ordering Supplies:
* STICKERS: As of April 2023, all businesses can now use any sticker of their preference to designate their business as the seller of a PATIO Zone drink. The sticker must prominently display the business name, logo, or both!
* CUPS: PATIO Zone cups will be ordered and picked up from the Ferndale DDA office located in Ferndale City Hall. A scheduled time will be coordinated for pickup. Cups have been free to date, but a fee may be charged in the future to offset the cost.
