Summary
These September 2020 events in Auburn and Opelika can’t come fast enough! Still, we have to add: please be safe when you attend any outside gatherings. That means wearing a mask, carrying hand sanitizer, and remaining six feet or further from those not in your household. You should also remember to read—and follow—all posted signage, as well as all verbal direction from staff. Thank you for being conscientious and protecting our community!
