Masks

Please send hostess photo of you sporting your mask, especially images from being out and about in the world. If you want a mask, please ask the hostess. 2021 images.

2022

For 2022, with the omicron variant of COVID-19 working its way through Dane County, we have N95 masks OK’d by the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Manufactured by Kimtech of Kimberly-Clark fame, the 2022 Hoedown masks are model 53358 (click for official directions).

The N95 can be confounding at first glance. Open the two white halves, extract and separate the blue headbands, and place around the back of the head. Tighten the wire along nose and cheekbones.

In 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, instead of renting a hall and buying drinks during a pandemic, we had masks.
