With concern around the spread of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus), we are continuing to monitor the situation daily and have a plan of action in place so we are adequately prepared based on the recommended guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and The Minnesota Department of Health.
Currently, Midpointe is working on rescheduling upcoming events based on the specific details surrounding the event. Events of any size should only be continued if they can be carried out with adherence to guidelines for protecting vulnerable populations , hand hygiene, and social distancing. We encourage our guests to call us with questions and concerns. You will also find recommendations from the CDC at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/ and the Minnesota Department of Health at https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/index.html
Our Preventative Measures
Our team is utilizing cleaning procedures to ensure they meet or exceed all CDC guidelines. Hard surfaces such as surfaces, restrooms, kitchen/bar areas, inventory, entrances/handles, are thoroughly wiped down with a high-grade disinfectant and multi-purpose cleaner. In the event we are advised by the CDC and Minnesota Department of Health of a person who is potentially exhibiting coronavirus symptoms, the venue will be closed and sent through a full decontamination process that includes our standard cleaning procedures plus additional detailed cleaning.
Before Your Event
We encourage you to communicate with your guests before your event. Please refer to the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/) for up-to-date information, and follow and share these everyday preventive actions to help keep yourself and your guests healthy:
Wash your hands often and thoroughly for 20 seconds using soap and water or an alcohol-based sanitizer.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue. Then, throw the tissue in the trash or cough or sneeze into your elbow.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home if you are sick with a fever or flu-like symptoms.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Promote messages that discourage people who are sick from attending events. This should include messages requesting that people leave events if they begin to have symptoms of COVID-19, which include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. They should seek medical advice promptly by calling ahead to a doctor’s office or emergency room to get guidance.
At Your Event
In addition to following the above preventative measures, you will find extra supplies on hand for guests and staff, including sinks with soap, hand sanitizers, tissues, and disposable face masks (for persons who start having symptoms). Those who become sick will be immediately isolated from guests and staff who are not sick and given a clean disposable face mask to wear until medical attention is available. In addition, our team is utilizing cleaning procedures to ensure they meet or exceed all CDC guidelines before, during and after all events.
We remain dedicated to our mission of maintaining the highest service level of hospitality and safety for you and your guests. We look forward to serving your event needs at Midpointe Event Center in a secure and welcoming environment.

Marcy McHenry - Owner & CEO
