Chris Janson playing a concert Saturday night at Gordy’s Hwy 30 Music Fest in Filer, Idaho, caused a stir on social media after it appeared fans were not social distancing or wearing masks.
But Gordy Schroeder, the festival’s organizer and namesake, says the three-day event took all legally required precautions.Working with state and local authorities to ensure COVID-19 pandemic safety guidelines were observed during the festival -- one of the first to take place since the country shut down in mid-March -- Schroeder says all attendees were instructed to use hand sanitizer as they entered and were provided with free face masks and gloves (neither of which are mandatory in Flier).
