What is happening in your state?
In the city of Rochester, we have 3 major people gathering events called off for 2020....
Down By The Riverside Summer concert series at Mayo Park
Rochesterfest.....city wide celebration
Thursdays on 1st and 3rd ( for several weeks from initial start in June until further nitice.)
Word on the Minnesota Renaissance Festival still out as well as our annual Science Fiction convention in Minneapolis. I suspect those will be called off as well. Both are HUGE people gathering events that make social distancing difficult. Minnesota has not peaked yet.
