Gower Days Goes On

Million total confirmed cases of covid-19 here in the u.s., a lot of us are understandably concerned about going to large gatherings.

However many of these are still continuing to go on.

Joining us tonight is chip holman, how are you able to continue this tradition this year?

>> jodie, our committee and i took the opportunity in may to speak with six different healthcare professionals in our area.

Locally and regionally to ask them, is it okay?

And every single one of them should you should have it.

Obviously we're going to follow the recommendations by the clinton county health department and by the governor of the state of missouri.

We are going to encourage folks to please wear a mask.

If you feel the need to wear one.

Please do so.

We will not require them but encourage folks to do so and maintain proper social distancing of six feet.

If your family is together and you're watching the live entertainment, sit six feet away from the others.

We will have plenty of hand sanitizer on hand.

We are working with fun services with our inflatables to make sure they're properly sanitized several times an hour.

We are taking the right steps.

We have hand sanitizers in the restrooms and the port potties.

For those folks that visit their booth so they have something.

We feel like we're following the proper precautions to make this a safe event for everyone.

>> chip, great.

Tell us about the dates and times so everybody can show up.

Once she's off stage, we will do a meet and greet and have merchandise for cassie.
