Sunday snowball fight barred from Alexandria landmark’s grounds as winter storm looms

An earlier version of this story indicated a snowball fight would occur on the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, but the organization is not permitting the public to access its grounds during the storm.

Shawn Eyer, a spokesperson for the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, told ALXnow the event is not authorized and that the grounds will be closed to the public Sunday.

“For any private or group use of our grounds, including outdoor events or gatherings, our standard policy requires a formal rental agreement with a minimum fee of $1,000, along with provision of a certificate of insurance naming our organization as additionally insured,” said Eyer. “There is no such agreement in place for this event, and we do not authorize it.”
