** Please wear a mask unless you have been fully vaccinated. In closed spaces where large numbers gather, it is still recommended by experts that everyone wear a mask and social distance. While there are no stated capacity limits in Phase 5 phase, we are still advised to maintain safety protocols. For events, we are placing the maximum number of tables in the room while maintaining space between them. This floor plan will not likely change until we exit Phase 5.
