I went to this local farm for pictures with Santa and other kids/farm like activities. When I arrived like 20 people were there and masked.

Since much of the stuff is outside, I was obviously not about to cover up. A few puzzled looks but no big deal. Karen’s literally cannot screech outside. I was chatting with folks keeping warm with a bonfire and a few guys and a lady took off their masks.

Went with the fam to see Santa in his little workshop. Wifey and kid #1 instantly covered. We can’t have that in our pictures. So I asked Santa if there’s any coronavirus around. He agreed that there was no need for masks. I took them from the fam and put them in my pocket for the rest of the day.

We departed the workshop, and I told the families in line “Santa says nobody has to wear masks in the workshop or his farm. Merry Christmas!

Each of those 3 families took their masks off for good, and they passed along the message at least for a while.

We went into Santa’s workshop for crafts and hot chocolate without masks and proceeded to have a great time. People wearing masks saw and took them off for the rest of my stay at least.

One of those people was the owner. I thanked them for putting on a fun community event and how much I appreciated being maskless. Turns out they are 100% red pilled. They mask up when the public comes but had been waiting for a moment like this.

While the kids made their last rounds to say goodbye to all the farm animals, I went back to the fire. A few people were talking about how good it felt to be maskless at an event, and how the mood of their kids is better than it has been in a long time.
