The coronavirus is starting to wipe out small-town summer festivals.
KCHA Radio reported last week that New Hampton’s summer celebration, Heartland Days, scheduled for June 12-13, will not be held.
I’m posting this because it is the first festival of its type I’ve seen a notice about. Is there anyone keeping track of these? The weekend after that is Gladbrook’s Corn Carnival…
Pre-post update: “Laura Days” at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Park & Museum in Burr Oak (June 27-28) isn’t happening.
Post-post update: Black Dirt Days in Conrad, also June 12-13.
