Credit/Debit Card Payments Now Accepted at MHS/CLJ Home Events!!

We are excited to announce that we are now able to accept credit/debit card payments for ADMISSION AND CONCESSIONS at MPS home events! We are able to accept both card payments as well as apple pay. We are starting this service on Thursday January 15th for the home junior high boys basketball games and we will offer this option for Friday home wrestling and Saturday home basketball as well. We then will continue to offer this option at most home events moving forward. We know this will be a great convenience for those who prefer to use a card over cash.

PLEASE NOTE:
1. There is a processing fee that the customer will pay per transaction.
2. We WILL continue to take cash as we have always done.

GO WHIPPETS!!
