“Some of our folks will be out visiting various parties and events going on so make sure you're leaving by 11,” said Krewson. In St. Charles County, the 11 p.m. curfew also remains in place and health department officials there will also keep an eye on businesses to ensure they are following restrictions. There is no curfew in St. Louis County but the ban on indoor dining and drinking remains in place until Monday. But outdoor events can take place. “We’re expecting snow, snow’s totally fine with us, we have it set up for snow,” said Brian Hardesty of 9 Mile Garden. The food truck park in Affton will host a ticketed New Year’s event outside with tents set up and fire pits. Masks will be required.
