Clear Lake July 1-5 celebration canceled for 2020

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we, here today, representatives of: the City of Clear Lake, Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, and 4^th of July Committee in collaboration with Cerro Gordo Public Health—announce that we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Clear Lake July 4^th Celebration and events scheduled for July 1-5, 2020.

The end of the school year Friday, May 15, was marked in similar ways.  (Above) Clear Lake High School’s Class of 2020 paraded through the community, drawing cheers from those along the route around the lake.  Almost all of the class’s 100 seniors participated in the parade, which was organized by teachers and parents.  The Clear Lake Police Department led the students’ vehicles down Main Avenue and around the lake, finishing at Lions Field.

The Clear Lake Memorial Day program, scheduled for Monday, May 25, has been cancelled due to the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic.  However, the Mirror-Reporter has made arrangements with members of V.F.W. Post 4868 and Clear Lake Schools to film a variety of Memorial Day messages and activities typically associated with the local program.
