Our underlying goal since the formation of this event has been to keep attendees safe, and to avoid any undue risk to the attendance of MidWinter Frolic. Virus or no virus, MidWinter Frolic wants our attendees to be safe at our event. To that end we have been actively monitoring local, regional, and national infection rates, monitoring local and national governmental guidance, monitoring policies at larger event venues (including Furry Migration), and watching what other events and convention policies are, and the results of those choices. In addition, we stay mindful of individuals who are at a heightened risk of complications, and how these policies can impact the ability of those people to attend our event. We have taken all these things into consideration. We understand and can appreciate that whatever choice we make will not be welcomed by all, but when we make a policy decision, we are doing so for the totality of our attendance.
At the time of this writing, it has been decided that for MidWinter Frolic we will be lifting the COVID-19 vaccination and mask requirement. We will continue to monitor the situation as we approach the event and adjust our policy based on infection rates, and state / federal guidance. We do not take this decision lightly but feel that the risk to our attendees by removing these mandates is negligible, at this time.
