Organizers have put some COVID-19 precautions in place like a ventilation system and hand sanitizer stations. There are no mandates, though. "The vaccine is a game changer. Last year when we had to cancel there wasn’t a vaccine available. Cases spiked in January of last year. This year we’re taking those precautions so throughout the complex there are masking stations that provide masks across the complex, hand sanitization stations across the complex and plenty of signage reminding people to do what we need to do to keep ourselves safe. There aren’t mandates but after 18 months of this, everybody knows what to do.
