Victory rented the auditorium out to a third-party for the concert.READ MORE: "You can see how easily it would be to spread the virus in an environment like that," Dr. Bratzler said.Kristin Ware, show promoter for Braum's "An Affair of the Heart" arts, crafts, and boutique show is defending hosting the event this weekend."We consider all of those things when planning the show and deciding how to move forward or if to move forward," Ware said.Ware told 2 Works for You the show organizers worked with the Tulsa Health Department and Tulsa Fairgrounds administration to install proper COVID precautions at the event.She said they reduced the number of vendors by 25% to allow more space for social distancing. Organizers are also requiring face coverings, providing sanitizing stations, and labeling one-way aisles."We really felt like people were doing their part, for the most part, to spread out and make it, like I said, kind of like a grocery store or other local boutique and not be all up in each other's personal space," Ware said.Victory Christian Church Pastor Paul Daugherty told 2 Works for You in a text, they're altering their plans for a Thanksgiving "Friendsgiving" event Sunday. Daugherty said it will be more like an "out-to-eat" event and no meals will be served inside the church.Victory representatives didn't say if the changes come in response to backlash from the viral concert video.Trending Stories:Stay in touch with us anytime, anywhere --Copyright 2020 Scripps Media, Inc.
