Phase One Reopening Information
Dear Vacaville Ice Friends & Families,
The past couple months have been very challenging for everyone and we hope you are all safe and healthy. We wanted to get everyone excited because....WE GOT THE GREEN LIGHT TO REOPEN!!
That's right; we received the "ok" from the county to reopen our doors for modified programs and we are hoping this will take place as early as next Wednesday, June 3rd. However, there will be new regulations to follow and things will look a lot different for a while.
Our email subscribers hear from us first, so if you are not on our email list, please scroll down to the bottom of this page and be sure to add your email to our list.
As the state of this public health emergency continues to change rapidly from day to day, our number one focus has always been and will continue to be the health, safety and well-being of our employees and customers. We are SO EXCITED to see you all again soon!
