What was the biggest news story this past week -- either in your community, nationally, or globally?
Due to the ongoing pandemic, our small community has been forced to cancel its annual festival for the second year in a row. Each spring for 34 years, this two-day event has attracted thousands to our town and brings much need money to the coffers of area businesses. For residents and town officials alike, the festival is a much anticipated social highlight, as well as an opportunity to accentuate the municipality’s positive points. Disgruntlement prevails now, but there is no doubt that this decision--however disappointing--was the wisest course of action.

We traveled by plane to San Diego this weekend. The whole traveling experience made me really uncomfortable. The airport in San Diego was too crowded for any social distancing and so many people seemed to be wearing their masks inappropriately (noses out) or poor quality masks. The up side of the trip was going to a concert at San Diego’s new outdoor symphony venue. I love that life feels so nearly normal, even in a crowd, when we can be outdoors!
