2020 Covid-19 Plan - The Haunted Forest and Corn Maze <br />As a "one stop shop" for fall fun, we also operate a Haunted Forest and Corn Maze in the evening. Event <br />details are as follows: <br />o Friday and Saturday nights from 7pm to 1"0pm, beginning the second weekend in October, <br />through October (Oct. 9th through Oct. 31) <br />o This is a weather dependent activity <br />r The overall patch area is shut down, however, we use the Silo Caf6/BBQ Shack for selling tickets <br />and light concessions and the picnic area is used for staging guests <br />o The nature of the activity is family oriented/groups. Guests do not go through with anyone <br />other than the family/friends they came with <br />o Again, given the nature of the activity, we already have to control capacity and space people <br />out. We send groups in one at a time, with recommended group size of no more than 4, but we <br />will allow as many as 6 max <br />o Slower nights, we send groups in 3-minutes apart. Busier weekends we send groups in 2- <br />minutes apart <br />o lf the average group size is 3 (most people come in pairs), we can have no more than 60-90 <br />people per hour. Given that the first and last hour are slowest, we don't actually see more than <br />200 people per night <br />o Guests are directed to buy their tickets at the Silo Caf6/get a number, then wait by the firepit to <br />be called <br />o Coffee, smore kits, etc. can also be purchased at the BBQ Shack <br />o Once at the firepit, guests are given a safety talk/instructions/back story <br />o Then, we callgroup numbers one at a time <br />o Guests first wind their way through the corn maze, where there are no actors (we want to <br />reduce the tendency for folks to stray off the path when scared) <br />o Once they exit the corn maze, they enter the forest, where they are met by actors in various <br />roles. <br />r lf they survive @...ttrey are invited to go to the "survivors" firepit (a 2"d firepit) and hangout to <br />enjoy drinks/snacks <br />Based on what l've just shared, we've looked at operations in three parts; Silo Caf6 staff, guests and <br />actors. Considerations and plans for each are as follows: <br />Silo Caf6/BBQ Shack staff - Operations would mirror daytime/patch operations. Concessions are <br />permitted with the Health Department and standard food handling practices will be followed. Masks <br />and gloves will be worn, hand sanitizer will be made available for guests and social distancing will be <br />practiced <br />Guests - <br />r Existing county/state mandates will be expected of guests (i.e. masks, socialdistancing, etc.). <br />o Additional firepits and/or propane heaters will be added, to spread people out as they wait for <br />their number to be called
