The pandemic wounded yet another annual summer tradition this year. The St. Joseph Community Festival committee announced that this year's celebration will be scaled down considerably as the state continues to navigate through it reopening phases.
In a statement released on Facebook, the festival committee announced that after conversations with the American Legion, the village officials and management from the carnival vendor, a decision was reached to cancel most of the events for this year's festival.
"With all of the unknowns at this time due to the coronavirus it is hard to plan what might or might not be allowed in August," Josh Reese wrote in his post in the St. Joseph, IL - Information and Community Events public group on Facebook. "We are planning on keeping a few events."
As of June 10, the planning committee plans to offer the following events:
Saturday, August 1
12pm • Antique and Lawnmower Tractor Pull
Location: The Sports Complex
Saturday, August 8
7am - 10am • St. Joseph-Stanton Fire Department Pancake Breakfast
6pm • Community Festival Parade
Location: Downtown
Dusk • Festival Fireworks
Location: Sports Complex
The Pancake Breakfast is listed as tentative. The SJSFD still needs to acquire applicable temporary food permits from the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District. The tractor pull was schedule to one week earlier due to the availability of the sled.
Reese signed off with a piece of good news after thanking the community for their support. The dates for next year's festival are scheduled to be held on August 12-14 in 2021.
