The committee for the 46th National Narrow Gauge Convention is monitoring COVID-19 and its impact on our event in Minnesota.
At this time, the requirements for masks on some public transportation and all medical facilities are optional. Of course, layout owners may choose to require masks and/or proof of vaccine when you visit their homes. Please respect their choices and be prepared to comply. And as always, you can wear a mask even if one is not required, especially if you are not feeling well.
