Hear from Visit Macon's Chandler Price, Marketing Manager, and learn why she chooses to mask up. #WhyIMask I mask up for the safety of others who have pre-existing conditions and are at higher risk. I mask up for my 86-year-old spunky grandmother, so she's around for years to come. During these unprecedented times, the power of community is more valuable than ever. We are stronger as a whole when we can join together with the common goal of keeping each other safe and health...y. Tune in as the Visit Macon staff shares their stories on why masking up is important! #VisitMacon #MaconItSafe **For those interested in a Visit Macon mask of your own, we are excited to tell you that we now have them for sale in our downtown visitors center gift shop.
