It will be on a much smaller scale than past years, but we will make it happen following social distancing and safety proto- cols. See attached fl yer. We have had to limit the number of shoppers a few times when the store is crowded. Face coverings are required with nose and mouth cov- ered, and we are doing the one camel six-foot safe distancing. Hand sani- tizer is available around the store. We so appreciate your patience and compliance. We will all get through these times. It might not be tonight, tomorrow or the next day, but everything is going to be okay. Keep believing and keep trusting God. Be happy.
