Additionally, as outlined by the governor, all attendees must have proof of a recent negative test result or proof of immunization prior to the event, masks will be worn at all times except when eating or drinking, and socially-distanced dancing is allowed in designated areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWhile all of these requirements do not fit with what a traditional wedding or event would look like, these guidelines are in place to help prevent the spread of COVID. Hopefully as more people are vaccinated and time passes these restrictions will be eased as well,\u201d said Scirocco.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><!--more-->The yearlong closure was not a completely lost one for the venue, said Scirocco, as restoration work was completed inside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAn upgraded sound system was installed in the venue, and detailed restoration work of the decorative woodwork in the parlor and bar was completed along with refinishing the bar and ballroom floors. Small meticulous work that was difficult with regular events was completed during the closure. The air filters will also be upgraded in time for the first scheduled event,\u201d said Scirocco.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Situated in Congress Park, in downtown Saratoga Springs, the Canfield Casino is designated as a National Historic Landmark, and the entire site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It was originally built in 1870 as a gambling establishment by John Morrisey, and upgraded by Richard Canfield in 1902-03 to include the ornate ballroom. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Interested parties should contact Mary Castanza in the Department of Public Works at 518-587-3550 ext. 2555 or email &#109;&#x61;r&#121;&#x2e;c&#97;&#x73;t&#97;&#x6e;z&#97;&#x40;s&#97;&#x72;a&#116;&#x6f;g&#97;&#x2d;s&#112;&#x72;i&#110;&#x67;s&#46;&#x6f;r&#x67;<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canfield Casino has reopened for 2021 weddings and events.
