MABA recognizes the current situation facing the local community and is making health and safety for our Parade attendees, staff, and builders our utmost priority for the duration of the event. As our society slowly moves towards fully reopening, we will be following Public Health guidelines as we strive to provide a safe and enjoyable environment. Precautions will include, but are not limited to:

● Limiting attendees into each home (10 max) and into each Parade site (50 max) within Phase 1. We will have ticket takers tracking the number of attendees in the Parade site at a time and not allowing more individuals in than is allowed under Forward Dane. Builders will be limiting the number of attendees into each individual home.

● New Processes to limit physical interactions with staff and products, including using electronic QR codes to provide information versus paper ballots or paper information.

● Daily cleaning with PureX within each home by builders. As well as intermittent cleaning during the hours of the show using the PureX solution.

● Limiting touch points, like door handles by removing some doors and furniture from the homes. Roping off high touch areas.

● Providing hand sanitizer at the entry of each home and the Parade sites.

● Highly encouraging wearing of masks by all attendees and having all ticket taker staff mandated to wear masks and gloves.

● Requiring social distancing and recommending one-way traffic through homes.

● Employees and attendees who have a fever or other symptoms of COVID-19 are asked to stay home and not attend the Parade of Homes in person.

It is our hope that the current health crisis continues to improve and that the Parade of Homes can be a first step back to normalcy. On behalf of all those involved in the Madison Area Builders Association and the Parade of Homes, we hope for continued health and safety.
