    Is Wisconsin open for this event now? Or is it just a "hope it will in July"?

    We drove up to Wisconsin on Tuesday. Despite the fact we hit snow in east central Illinois and didn’t drive out of it until Madison and then got more on Wednesday, yes. Went out for fish fry dinner and the place was packed. A lot of the summer events are currently planned to be on.

    My concern is Washington is in level 3 which allows outdoor events only up to 400. https://coronavirus.wa.gov/what-you-...art/whats-open
    I figured Wisconsin was a similar blue state with similar mandates.
    So what level is Wisconsin?

    Open for business. Have been for about a year. The WISC ruled the mask mandate was unconstitutional too. So no face diapers required either

    Not concerned about the mask mandate. I am asking about event numbers. The Sun n Fun leader said they had a limit of 30,000.

    Wisconsin has no limits. That was part of the SC ruling. The Governor does not have the ability to impose limits on businesses or events. Only the legislature can,and they are majority R so I don’t see that happening

    Bill, can you provide a citation for that?

    I haven’t seen that, and this is the first that I have heard of it.

    Thanks,

    I saw the same thing. Maybe in AvWeb.

    Video interview with John (Lites) Lienhouts before the event. It might have been a self-imposed limit.
    Washington is in "fourth" wave now and put three counties back to level one restrictions.
    It's looking like Arlington is unlikely at current level three: https://www.arlingtonflyin.org/

    Thanks, guys. I was there Monday through Saturday, and have the same observation about masks, social distancing, use of hand sanitizers, etc. FWIW, I haven’t found much credibility in anything that the Sun n Fun leadership has said since Billy retired.

    I did have a great time, and am looking forward to Oshkosh. Might even go to airventure while there.
