FBC Policy

If you are Fully Vaccinated you do not need to wear a mask or be socially distanced, but non-vaccinated individuals must continue to wear a mask and be socially distanced. Masks may be removed once a person is seated and distanced from others not in their group.

We are providing a designated area for individuals who are not vaccinated or prefer to maintain social distancing.

We are also utilizing the honor system for reporting yourself as fully vaccinated as permitted according to the CDC's most recent guidelines.
