ARTS ALIVE OPEN HOUSE, JANUARY 3
CANCELLED: FAT TUESDAY PANCAKE DAY (Feb. 2021)
Once again COVID-19 has forced a decision, and that is to cancel our Fat Tuesday Pancake Day this coming February 16, 2021. It is just not safe enough to have such a large gathering. Supplies must be ordered and arrangements made in order to put on this day long event and it is just not feasible to do so at present. We are disappointed not to be able to do this fundraising mission, but look forward to next year when we will resume this annual event.
