2020 Entry: Parade Cancelled Due to Covid-19 Concerns

May 26, 2020/ Victoria Erhart

From Toria Erhardt in the 2020 Newsletter: Anyone who regularly reads this section of the newsletter knows that frequently I have no idea what we are doing with the upcoming parade, but for 2020 I really, really haven’t got a clue. Having a parade at all, with crowds shoulder to shoulder along the parade route, seems like a dicey idea. If I could conjure up a float out of nothing, this is the year I would want to honor the discipline of science: scientific thought, hypotheses, testing, insight, facts, and leaps of intuition. Yes, hard to convey on a 5’ by 8’ trailer, and no, not very funny, but it feels right. If a parade happens at all, our float is going to have to be a somewhat last minute affair, and of course we would want you to join us.

From the Madeline Island Chamber on May 7, 2020: 4th of July Celebration. It is with little surprise, but considerable regret that we announce the cancellation of Madeline Island's Annual 4th of July Celebration.
