We respect everyone's individual choices and continue to support the idea that both vaccines and masks are effective and helpful protection.

Our top priority is to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for all attendees.

Guests of Honor may require that masks be worn when interacting in close proximity to the Guest at their discretion.
