Just saw your post on canceling the Memorial Day festival. Unfortunate and sad, and I'm sure the last thing you wanted to do. Let's hope there is better news with the Labor Day Festival. Thanks for all of your work on this.

The decision to cancel the festival was not undertaken lightly by the NIBGA board, and we delayed making the decision as long as we thought prudently possible. However, we do not feel information regarding the easing of restrictions will be available in time for us to make definitive plans by Memorial Day weekend.

So tired of hearing this BS in this state. I've worked everyday of this covid crap as an essential employee ( making sticky paper for labels!!) and I'm thoroughly sick to death of all these out door cancellations! You organizers need to help start getting this state back to normal. The vaccine is here, folks are responding....now grow a pair and let these things happen!!

Who makes this decision?

Soooooooooooo sad!

Stupidity

But going to Walmart is perfectly fine. Let's limit outdoor festivities. Just loving our corporate america!

This seems confusing. Is it canceled or being reviewed?

This decision is so STUPID

OPEN the State

Ok this is getting outrageous. The majority of elderly have been vaccinated. Everyone wears their masks and social distances and I don’t think I’ve ever seen 250 people in the seating area - most of them being married or with their kids too. I get the caution but to what extent? This is a highlight for me and I’m sure the older generations as bluegrass is fading. If you are scared to come then don’t. I guess I don’t understand why this decision or the last statement for that matter. Is it cancelled or being reviewed and may change?

Open the state back up!!!

So sad, but wise. Thank you for being on the smart side. We'll more than likely see you sometime this summer!
