To protect our Elders and all members of our 2 Rivers Remix community, we have provided masks for those who want to wear one. We strongly encourage you to wear a mask if you have been feeling unwell recently or if someone in your household is currently sick. We ask that those who are currently sick watch the live-stream from home this year to reduce the spread of illness!
