Do you have any towns near enough in the other direction? You could go to "alternate" towns, LOL. Sounds like a rich person, having alternate towns.

Sounds very hard with scheduling so many different needs but I'm glad you're sticking up for your own needs in there too. Disappointment is a fact of life for everyone; no need to feel "badly" that someone else is disappointed, that happens. There will be other days/opportunities. We do the best we can!
