At their special meeting today on July 29th the Garretson Commercial Club voted unanimously to cancel the 2020 Jesse James Days celebration.
This decision was prompted for a number of reasons. Firstly, the number of cases both nationwide, statewide and county wide had increased significantly since the last vote the Commercial Club had on July 8th. Also, board members had heard of several instances of local cases since that meeting. Many of the events had already been canceled on the schedule, cutting the number of events down to the bone. With local cases on the rise, the board felt it was necessary to simply cancel all events forthwith, and with 8 of nine board members present, voted unanimously to do so.
