We will see how the numbers go after the midway last week, but so far Edmonton is doing well with case counts. Calgary has seen a surge post Stampede, but hopefully that peaks and subsides before the Expo. I think that holding them in September should be okay.

Voluntary for vendors and attendees to wear a face mask per current Alberta and Expo Covid-19 precautions.

I expect that to change to mandatory between now and then. Some new models are predicting daily case counts over 1,000 by early September. :cry:

And, they may require proof of vaccination.

It's been interesting here in Orlando this weekend with the mandatory masking. I would say 998 out of 1000 patrons have been great and complying and making the best of things with their masks on and having a lot of fun. The 999th person ---- pulls it down from their nose constantly, thinks they can't talk with a mask on, makes faces and is generally not happy about it but still tries... somewhat... makes a face when they are told to put it on properly. The 1000th... walks around with it in their pocket, or hanging off their ears, or as a chin guard and has to be told to put it on properly and begrudgingly does it for a short time, or until they think they are out of view. Some of them even give pushback and their visit ends. Had a few "can't take away my liberty" and "I have rights" types that had to be escorted out. Generally pretty good and it is what it is.

Not sure if this will be a requirement at other shows, but it is possible to do if necessary.

I thought that was every day for you - dig through a few of the hundreds of long boxes you have for the latest hot books of the week, break out a beer or two at the end of the day, then repeat the next day........

Honestly, it's more fun with friends.
