COVID Compliance

The Pete Foundation is dedicated to keeping our community safe and well. The strategies below are designed to meet all CDC and State guidelines for a safe outdoor event. Our plan is based on the proven success of PeteFest 2021 events.

Volunteer Support

  1. The event is offered by our core PeteFest volunteers; a team of 15 dedicated staff.
  2. All planning and teamwork prior to the event occurs remotely/via telework.
  3. All volunteers will be provided masks.  Gloves will be available in sufficient numbers that contaminated gloves can be disposed of, and new gloves applied.
  4. All volunteers will have a personal bottle of hand sanitizer.
  5. Face shields are available for any volunteers desiring this level of protection.
  6. All volunteers are dedicated to ensuring that distancing guidance is encouraged by all in attendance.
  7. In addition to volunteer support, The Pete Foundation may contract with an off-duty officer to provide additional security presence, and support to volunteer staff.
