July 11, 2020
Dear Players,
I’m extremely sad to be writing you this letter. Unfortunately, we can not hold our Invasion of Normandy event due to Governor Wolf’s 250 person COVID-19 restriction. While we understand that the state of Pennsylvania’s house and senate have passed legislation to remove all restrictions, this will be a battle fought in the court system. It may take months. With that in mind and the lead time that you, our vendors, and staff need to run an event of this scale, we regretfully cancel the Invasion.
We hope that you’ll allow us to move your entire reservation to the 2021 ION dates – July 9, 10 & 11. If you choose this option, you will receive a case of paintballs per person, on us. You will also be able to choose which side of the invasion you would like to be on. If this doesn’t work for you, we will refund your entire reservation.
I know that this is frustrating, but I ask that you not call us. We will be calling you and with over 1,600 calls it will take some time. So, please think about your two options and await our call. Your patience as we work through this is greatly appreciated.
We are a paintball family. We will come out of this together. We hope to see you playing rec ball as this summer of uncertainties unfolds.
Stay safe, stay healthy, and wash your hands.
Sincerely,
Sky
Sky Fogal
and the entire Fogal family.
