LAHARPE — The annual LaHarpe Day celebration has been canceled for 2020.
Organizing committee members agreed to call off the festivities because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
While the governor has eased restrictions regarding crowd sizes, there was no guarantee social distancing requirements would be appropriate for a parade, games and other activities by June 27, the planned date of the celebration.
LaHarpe Day returned in 2019 following a seven-year hiatus.
Organizers are considering a smaller activity of some sort later this summer.
