Governor Walz today closed K-12 schools across the state in response to the growing outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). The number of confirmed cases has begun to rise exponentially, matching trends throughout the country and the world. Additionally, the first case of community transmission has now been confirmed in Minnesota.
In addition, we have been talking with people from the medical community who confirm the pandemic is likely to increase for the foreseeable future. Also, the number of unconfirmed cases is likely much higher than those confirmed by many times.
In light of all this, we have made the decision to cancel our Winterphaze event. We are also canceling our planned Miniphaze event that would have happened sometime in May.
Our first event for our season will be our Summerphaze weekend-long event. This event has not been scheduled yet, but we’re targeting late June or Early to Mid-July. We’ll keep you updated as we know more.
Everyone who was registered for Winterphaze will have their registration fee credited to their membership account and applied to future events. If you’d prefer to receive a refund instead, please email me directly at ben.m@interphaze.org and I can make arrangements for that as well.
On a personal note, I’m sure you’re disappointed as everyone on our teams is about not being able to save the kingdom this weekend. I want to take a minute to thank our teams, especially our weighting team, who has been hard at work preparing for this event. More importantly, I’ll miss seeing and reconnecting with all of you and look forward to seeing you at Summerphaze.
Thanks for your support and understanding,
Ben Millard
