Here are the latest details on how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the area:
• The Midwest Geobash planned for July 22-26 at the Fulton County Fairgrounds has been canceled. This year’s event will be postponed and take place as Midwest Geobash 2021 from July 21-25, 2021.
The Midwest Geobash planning team spent a considerable amount of time over the past eight weeks trying to work with local partners, including the Fulton County Fairgrounds and the Fulton County Health Department, to find a way to host a safe and fun Midwest Geobash this year, a Facebook post from the planning team said.
“The ultimate reason we are choosing to not host the event this year is that with the modifications necessary, we did not feel we could bring you the true Midwest Geobash experience you’ve come to love and the experience you deserve,” the post continued.
“We also had to carefully weigh the potential consequences of continuing to plan for this year’s event and potentially not being able to have the event, as well as what that could mean for Midwest Geobash moving forward.”
