Summary

Island Treasures announced a limited June 2020 reopening after cleaning and installation of a plexiglass shield, with masks, hand sanitation, distancing, reduced hours, and volunteer-staffing constraints. Follow-up notices listed additional June 18–20 hours, and a June 30 notice announced closure on July 4.

Evidence limits

These are first-party operating notices. They document planned reopening and precautions, not attendance, sales, staffing, or the eventual summer schedule.
