Operative words

'We cannot risk the viability of our non-profit by incurring expenses and risking the Show being canceled due to issues beyond our control... We also have very crowded livestock barns that are difficult to socially distance so having competitors on-site simply was not a safe option' (Ex. SEC-26-GM-006)
