Safety protocols in place for 2021 Whoop-Up Days

At a press conference earlier this summer, the long-awaited dates for Whoop-Up Days 2021 were announced. Global News

Whoop-Up Days is nearly here and organizers at Exhibition Park are taking protocols seriously to ensure a safe and healthy experience.

Due to construction at the grounds, scheduling, and planning an event coming out of pandemic restrictions, things will look a little bit different.

While entering the grounds this year, guests will be screened for flu symptoms and undergo a temperature check.

The AHS vaccination clinic will be open for walk-in vaccinations in the West Pavilion on Friday, Sept. 3 and Saturday, Sept. 4 from 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
