  • First and foremost, we ask our event guests to be respectful of each other and follow current COVID-19 mitigation guidelines
  • We want our guests to know that our WSEC volunteer board and office staff have all been vaccinated
  • We will ask our vendors to have hand sanitizer at their booths


We thank everyone for their patience, respectful attitudes, and understanding as we navigate this ongoing concern.
