Organizers have taken precautions to enhance public safety of the festival.

Some activities; tractor pull, embrace the race boat rides, wildflower arts festival, 5k walk/run, Friday and Saturday live bands, Chamber beer tent have been canceled for 2020. The downtown vendors will be spaced out to help create social distancing with signage promoting social distancing along with sanitizing stations added.
