Governor Sununu starts the briefing: “We hope everyone had a great weekend.  The sun was out and clearly late spring, summer is in the air and people are excited to see what we can do to get back to normalcy.”

Efforts are underway to reopen the state safely.  The governor announced today that the state will allow opening up outdoor activities that occur outdoors or in natural settings for groups of no more than 10 with safety restrictions in place.  These categories include, centers for biking, canoe and kayak rentals, mini-golf, outdoor driving ranges, outdoor shooting ranges, small fishing charters and paintball.  Bigger tourist attractions will remain closed under the guidance but will remain in consideration for future reopening phases.

Governor Sununu has also released a general guidance document for childcare centers to protect the staff, and children.  Some of these guidelines include providers and other staff using face coverings as well as all adults dropping off children.  The document includes guidelines for handwashing for both adults and children.  Staff and children will be screened daily for symptoms of, or exposure to COVID-19.  It also talks about guidelines for social distancing and encourages more outdoor time.

Equestrian centers will also be allowed to open and a guidance document has been complied for that category as well.

A guidance document for outdoor dining has been provided as well during this new release of information.

“We’re all pushing ourselves and challenging ourselves to see what can be done in a smart and step-wise manner. And specifically some of the areas we’ve been focusing on relate to personal care and so, we are hoping to get some additional guidance out later in the week and a lot of businesses can start to plan and re-staff up and open in a short period.” says Governor Sununu.

A 9 Year Old Girl from the Mount Washington Valley has created a “Birthday Program” for Merriman House Residents at Memorial Hospital

Brittney Bossidy is only 9 years old and when the coronavirus pandemic started Brittney took it upon herself to reach out to Memorial Hospital, because she wanted to make sure that the residents at their nursing home, The Merriman House, were being recognized on their birthdays since they couldn’t have any visitors. Brittney arranged a “Birthday Program” where she and her family are making flower arrangements and cards for residents to celebrate their birthdays. She’s even reached out to Ruthies Flower Shop and Shaw’s Supermarket and they have donated the flowers and vases.  Brittney is definitely a go-getter and her parents, Sherri and Eric, couldn’t be more proud. She’s already made 6 deliveries!

Brittney was Gino’s guest on the Magic Morning Show earlier today, click below to listen to the interview.

The Jericho ATV Festival is Cancelled Due to COVID-19 Concern

This year’s Jericho ATV Festival, which was set to take place July 31st – August 1st is cancelled due to coronavirus concerns. Read the full statement below;

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, and after consultation with various stakeholders, it is with great regret that we write to inform you that the Jericho ATV Festival Committee has made the decision to cancel the 2020 festival.  The timing of the uncertainty surrounding the outbreak has contributed to significant challenges in planning the Festival as many vendors and manufacturers are dealing with the same uncertainty, with a number of vendors having already cancelled, with more anticipated to follow suit. 

In addition to creating challenges in the planning of the festival, the potential for fewer vendors and manufacturers would greatly diminish the festival experience for festival attendees, volunteers, vendors, sponsors, and manufacturers.  In addition to these risks, the risk of a failed Jericho ATV Festival in 2020 would jeopardize the Committee’s ability to host future festivals. 

With all these factors in mind, the Committee made the decision to cancel the 2020 Festival.  We thank you in advance for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you at the 2021 Jericho ATV Festival on July 30th & 31st!
