Hoe-Down LIVE Health & Safety Protocols

Due to COVID-19, there will be changes to the way we deliver Hoe-Down LIVE in 2020. To promote the health and safety of our Hoe-Down LIVE guests, we will be implementing the below Health and Safety Protocols as guided by the CDC and the Indiana State Department of Health.

Here's what you can expect at Hoe-Down LIVE in 2020
- Guest count will be limited to 200 people, greatly reduced from past years.
- Our 2020 Hoe-Down LIVE timeline will be 5 PM to 9:30 PM.
- Upon arrival, all guests will receive their own signature Children’s TherAplay face mask and have their temperature taken.
- This year’s Main Event event will be held outdoors, with Registration and Silent Auction taking place in our distanced, open-air arena.
- If you've missed live music this year, we're here to help! We're excited to host an acoustic concert from Corey Cox!

Interested in hosting a Hoe-Down At-Home Party?

Hoe-Down At-Home is a great option for a small group of friends or family. Hosting a Hoe-Down At-Home party is a great way to socially distance with a small group while still raising money and celebrating Children's TherAplay!

When you commit to hosting a Hoe-Down At-Home party, Children's TherAplay staff will provide you with:
- Invitation templates
- Instructions on how to register your guests for the silent auction
- An example timeline of events for your party
- A few other goodies as a thank you!
