Invitation to The Solar

We are creating a quiet space at Grand Day called The Solar so attendees will have the option of a warmed place outside of the main hall to decompress, feed their infant, or just a place to take a break. We'll be hosting this space in a pavillion across the parking lot from the main entrance. There will be chairs, blankets, electric space heaters, ear plugs, quiet fidget toys, hand sanitizer, masks, and medieval content books available for perusal. We ask that you use this space as intended. Please avail yourselves of the hospitality provided. There is also free space under the covered site pavillion across the parking lot if you prefer some bracing air and sunshine without the quiet.
