Bicycle, Blues BBQ follows Chamber’s lead

On the heels of the cancellation of July 4th activities, organizers of the Bicycle, Blues & BBQ weekend announced they have also called off their 2020 event, scheduled for July 10-12.

“We just do not see a path that will allow more than 500 people to be gathered without social distancing and providing the special accommodation that may be required to do so,” explained Tim Putnam and Matt Curtis.   “We will all regroup and work to have a great festival for July 9-11, 2021.”

City pulls plug on Aquatic Center season

Clear Lake Parks & Recreation Director Randy Miller and City Administrator Scott Flory have announced that the City of Clear Lake’s Aquatic Center will not open for 2020. The decision follows Governor Kim Reynold’s announcement from earlier in the week in which she allowed pools to open, but for lap swimming and swimming lessons only.

“The decision was incredibly difficult and one I agonized over greatly, but the Governor’s recent re-openings announcement does not enable the City to “fully” open the Aquatic Center,” stated Miller.
