"* governor walz says we're ahead of schedule and we'll continue to move full steam ahead..

But the blue moon ballroom in rochester is hoping that means lifting restrictions placed on event centers.

Owner fred gommels tells me he's asking for event centers to be open to at least 50?

"* percent capacity.

Right now they're at a max capacity of 25?

"*percent with no more than 50 people.

Gommels says it's time to allow wedding parties and other celebrations to plan ahead after an we expect there to be some openings and loosening of the restrictions very soon.
