See what’s re-opening: Entertainment venues get June 10 go-ahead
Who would’ve thought that people would be getting excited about a roller skating rink reopening in 2020?
As far as keeping ourselves entertained, Gov. Mike DeWine blessed the state with wonderful news on Thursday. DeWine announced that certain entertainment facilities would be able to reopen under certain health and safety restrictions starting June 10.
Skate Zone 71 has already reopened as of today, but there’s still a handful of entertainment venues who have had to hold off on letting people back in until next Wednesday.
