Dear Cross Plains Community :
As I'm sure most of you know by now, Governor Tony Evers has extended the Safer At Home Order until May 26, 2020. This extension has us staying at home on Memorial Day - for our parade, picnic, and Memorial Service. Over the past several weeks, I have reached out to the CPACC Board of Directors, several business owners and the Memorial Day BBQ committee with some ideas of alternatives to our traditional day of gathering and celebration. However, I want to get feedback from the greater community.
Cross Plains is one of the few communities that still celebrates (and honors) Memorial Day and I was hoping to find a way to still honor this tradition
WITHOUT physically gathering together
. Some ideas include (but not limited to) - 1) Memorial day tribute on Social Media, 2) Chicken Dinners available for curbside pick up at an open local business 3) Commemorative hat/t-shirt/decal/etc/ available to purchase 4) Patriotic Side Walk Chalk/House Decorating competition 5)A combination of one or more of the above or something else completely.
OR
Does our community feel overwhelmed and would just like us to cancel this event for this year? This poll has also been posted on Facebook to help reach a broader audience. However, we know that there is a huge population of people that will still be missed. Please reach out to family and friends and get their feedback too! You can add their feedback in the comments or
email
me directly. The Cross Plains Area Chamber of Commerce is here for our community; whatever that may look like. Your feedback is valued and appreciated.
Sincerely,
Terra Morris
Executive Director
Cross Plains Area Chamber of Commerce
