HAINESVILLE CANCELS OCTOBER CIVIL WAR EVENT

Regretfully, the Village of Hainesville has decided to cancel their annual Civil War Encampment and Battle scheduled for October 17 and 18, 2020 due to Covid-19 pandemic concerns. We realize this is a disappointment for many people, but we are still in Phase 4 of the Governor’s reopening plan which limits gatherings to a maximum of 50 people. It is only in Phase 5, when a vaccine is available, is a larger gathering such as this event permitted. Realistically, such a vaccine will not be available this year.

This event would be in the HIGHEST RISK category defined as a large in-person gathering where it is difficult to remain spaced at least 6 feet apart and where attendees travel from outside the local area, both conditions that apply to Hainesville’s event.  Our greatest concern is for the health and safety of participants and attendees alike.

Please join us for next year’s event on the 16^th and 17^th of October 2021 if conditions permit.

NO SURPRISE

Our annual garage sale will have to wait till next year.

This is the first time in 16 years that we will have to cancel.  Save your “goodies” for next year.  We will make it even bigger and better.

Be well.  Stay safe.
