  • Vendors with vehicles

    • Children may climb into the vehicle and interact with it if they are masked and use hand sanitizer prior to entering and exploring the vehicle. Vehicles will be disinfected periodically throughout the day.

    • Vendors may choose to not allow children attending the event to physically interact with their vehicles.

  • Vendors will be asked to assist in ensuring all attendees are compliant with the event policies and procedures.

Handwashing and Hand Sanitizer
