We know that not all will feel the comfortable in a mask\, but in order to get back to some sort of "normalcy" it's a step we feel that we need to take to help ensure you remain healthy.\n We'll have multiple hand sanitizing stations throughout the facility as well as signage encouraging one way traffic down aisle at Business Expo and Business Mercado.\n Unsure of if the person you're wanting to visit with is physically distancing? We'll have colored bracelets on-hand to help you communicate to those around you which measures you are practicing. A red will mean no contact\, yellow elbows only while still being cautious\, blue hi-five and handshakes with frequent sanitizing.\n We're boosting up our signage throughout events to help remind everyone in attendance of proper public health guidelines.\n\nProtecting the health and safety of everyone at our events is a shared responsibility and we know you as our valued partner stand ready to do your part. Let's take more steps toward economic recovery\, together. \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: This event is being photographed and/or videotaped and your image may be used in connection with the advertising and promotion of the Abilene Chamber of Commerce.
