BCHBA has set safety precautions for homebuilders and guests to follow. These guidelines ensure the event will be a safe and enjoyable experience for all who participate. We wanted to make sure you know what is expected of all guests and builders to do their part in preventing the spread of COVID-19, so continue reading for more information.

1. FACE MASKS
Governor Evers issued a statewide order mandating that all Wisconsin residents wear a mask when in an indoor public setting. This means that all Showcase of Homes participants and attendees must wear face mask coverings when inside of the homes and in the garages. Keep your mask on at all times when viewing homes- it must cover both your mouth AND nose. Your mask helps to protect others, their masks help to protect you, and it works best when everyone wears one.

2. BOOTIES
As in previous years, home viewers are asked to remove shoes and wear booties when walking through the Showcase of Homes. This practice ensures that dirt and other particles don't get tracked into the home and potentially damage flooring. This year, BCHBA is asking attendees to keep the same booties with you from house to house. This will help prevent germs from transmitting from person to person. Each person will be given a free pair of booties with their ticket purchase, so take and rewear that pair with you to each Showcase house.

3. DISTANCING
Be courteous of other's space and use common sense when it comes to being aware of social distancing guidelines. Whenever practical, maintain a 6 foot distance away from anyone not part of your group.

Limit the number of people in your group to 4 people or less. If possible, leave at-persons at home. If you feel sick, we kindly ask that you do not enter.  Finally, please refrain from handshaking representatives, as it could lead to unknowingly transferring germs.

4. SANITIZING
Cypress Homes, and the other Showcase builders, will be regularly sanitizing high-contact surfaces. Hand sanitizers will be available for use at each Showcase home, Cypress will provide sanitation wipes, and it's recommended that you use them before and after viewing each home. Of course, you are welcome to bring your own sanitizing equipment for personal use.

5. TOUCH SURFACES
We get that one of the most exciting aspects of the showcase is touching the finishes in each home! However, to limit the number of germs spread, we ask that you not touch surfaces inside the home unless necessary. No doubt it will be tempting to feel all the beautiful selections put into our home, but other viewers will thank you for being responsible.

6. COST OF TICKETS
Tickets cost $12 per person (February 15 - March 5) or $15 per person (March 6th-March 14th). Please bring the correct amount of change if possible. This will help to limit the exchange of contact between surfaces. Or purchase your tickets online!

We look forward to seeing you there! If you have questions regarding these guidelines, feel free to contact the Brown County Home Builders Association at (920) 494-9020.  You can view the Brown County HBA interactive map here.
