Staying Social & Physical Distancing – COVID-19

Physical Distance with Suds, Buds & Windmills, the team you know and love has no off-season. We understand that this is a difficult time. Let’s beat COVID-19! It’s not social distancing, it’s physical distancing, we are all in this together.

Stay connected, be social all the while staying home.

As we head into winter, please let us know your thoughts on what we can do as a team to stay social while staying physically distanced. Comment on our Winter Page
