Numerous community events postponed
By Daniel Arens
Several upcoming community events have been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Three planned events for next week will not be held at their previously scheduled times. Sunday’s hospital auxiliary community meal, the Taste of Hazen chamber of commerce event Monday evening and next Friday’s Grape Escape put on by Sakakawea Hospice are postponed, with their future date yet to be determined while our communities, state and nation deal with the stress put on the health and economy by the outbreak.
The announcements of these closures comes on the heals of Governor Doug Burgum’s closure of all North Dakota public schools for the current school week, as well as statements by national leaders and agencies, including a request from President Donald Trump Monday for citizens to limit interactions with each other for a 15 day period.
