Masks are optional and attendees won’t be required to social distance at the July 3 event scheduled for Mount Rushmore, South Dakota’s governor said.

“We told those folks that have concerns that they can stay home, but those who want to come and join us, we'll be giving out free face masks, if they choose to wear one. But we won’t be social distancing,” Republican Gov. Kristi Noem said late Monday during an appearance on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”
