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!

CONWAY’S DELAYED ELECTION HELD WITH GREAT TURNOUT

The Conway election was held yesterday and the turnout was better than ever despite the delay caused by COVID-19.  A normal election held in April attracts from 1,200 to 1,500 voters and this year there was a total of 1,457 ballots cast.  In general most of the capital improvements were turned down which will help Conway financially.  Mary Seavey and David Weathers will return to the board of selectmen.  Rodney King is police commissioner and new to the planning board are Earle Sires IV and Ailie Byers.  Elected to the budget committee are the familiar faces of David Jensen and James LeFebvre.  Erik Corbett and Peter Donohoe also won their seats.  Jess Whitelaw, Michelle Capozzoli and Joe Mosca return to the school board unopposed.
