"you know you're on a carnival ride, you're hanging onto the handle and then when you get off you're sweepng your hair out of your face, itching your nose, whatever.

And who's to say you're not picking up the virus and passing it on in that manner."

We have, we'll have signange posted throughout the midway that reminds people of social distancing, markings on the ground that will keep people 6 feet apart.

And like i said we've got the ulv sprayers that we'll spray disenfecint on every single ride.

We've got several of those.

We'll have a team of folks that that's what their primary job will be.

To make sure that we're constantly making sure that everything is safe.while local health officials want families to have fun,they also want to make sure they're doing so safelyhealth dep.

I think if people can be careful and do those things we talked about.

Wear the mask, take hand-sanitizer with you, keep distance as much as possible, that we should be able to get through the carnival and people can just have fun at it."
