The Allis Connection

From the President's Pen

 by Mike Anderson

I am happy and proud to announce that The Allis Connection board of directors have decided that we will have the 29^th annual Father’s Day show June 20^th and 21^st at the Middle Amana park, where it has been held for the past several years; watch for signs at the intersections if you are new to the area. We will do our best to offer a safe environment.  It is at your discretion to attend or not to attend. We will have our microphone and speaker system and can announce at regular intervals safety warnings and alerts to our attendees. We want everyone to bring their own personal face mask/covering as they will not be for sale on the grounds. Vendors will be responsible for their own social distancing and that of their customers. We will be glad to offer recommendations that may help you prepare.

The ice cream vendor from last year has agreed to return. We will have a new food vendor this year and they are researching how to best provide the  services that we will require, we are requesting an extra hand wash station which will give us two on top of the hill and the sinks at the bathrooms, also are finding out if hand sanitizing stations can also be provided.

I have spoken with the Ox Yoke Inn on how the banquet will be handled. They can now seat up to ten people per table; it is still all-you-can-eat, they will deliver a loaded plate to each person and you may request additional helpings from the servers as required. We will limit the number of banquet tickets that we offer per The Ox Yoke Inn restaurant recommendations. As of right now The Ox Yoke Inn has assured me that we can also have the scholarship auction.  

As per the May 27^th proclamation, the Governor can restrict any process that she deems unsafe, and will update her proclamation on June 17th and may loosen restrictions, add more restrictions, or remain the same, it is fully her responsibility.  

Your help and support will make this a success. If you have suggestions or comments DO NOT hesitate to offer them.
