First Day of Summer in Mount Horeb! School is out, another sunny 90 degree day and outdoor dining is in full swing. Here at the Sjölinds Factory we are celebrating with plenty of outdoor dining and a bit of indoor dining, ice cream sandwiches and tall cold glasses of safts. Melissa has also come up with delicious summer drink specials; the Dalgona and the Lemon Sugar Latte are especially wonderful.
As to the Covid-19 update, we are cautiously tiptoeing towards optimism. The Factory is now open to the public. Our staff has been vaccinated months ago. We are hiring and training more people to help us. We hope to have enough staff to open our downtown location, even if it is just a few days a week, by the end of summer.
As to masks, you may see some of our staff wearing masks and some of our staff not wearing masks. The the mask mandate in Dane County has been lifted, but not everyone feels comfortable to go without a mask yet. I have asked my staff to do whatever makes them feel comfortable. This of course also applies to the public, unless you have not yet been vaccinated. If you have not been vaccinated please continue to wear a mask because we have young children here who are not allowed to be vaccinated… yet.
This has all been such a long, slow slog. Thank you to everyone who has hung in there with us. We are so very grateful to still be here.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you and love and peace to you and yours, Tracy.
