Our public open house events are cancelled until further notice. We've had two positive cases in the building during the last couple of weeks. It is doubtful that we'll resume this year.
Our public open house Saturday Nov. 21 is cancelled due to a local increase in covid rates. We're not sure about Dec. but expect that it will be by appointment only. No walk-in visitors.
Our April open house is cancelled due to prohibitions on public gatherings. #StayAtHome
