Council hears event updates as officials weigh cancelling Christmas Fest amid COVID-19
Summary
Representatives updated the Bay Minette council on the status of holiday and community events; the North Baldwin Chamber of Commerce asked whether Christmas Fest and the parade should be canceled because of COVID-19, and the Shriner paper drive reported raising $2,300.
Ashley Jones-Davis of the North Baldwin Chamber of Commerce briefed the council Dec. 7 on Christmas Fest and the associated parade and asked members for their opinion on whether to cancel the events because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tina Covington, the city's community relations coordinator, provided an update on the Ladies Night Out raffle. Chief of Police Al Tolbert reported on the department's "No Shave November" activity. During public comment, guest Harry Still III expressed his opinion on unspecified matters, and Earl Emmons thanked the mayor and council and reported that a Shriner paper drive raised $2,300 in three and a half hours.
The transcript records requests for council guidance on whether to cancel community activities because of COVID-19, but it does not record a formal decision on the Christmas Fest or parade. The council moved next to adjourn after hearing the updates and comments.
