COVID-19 OutbreakA Bittersweet Victory as Azalea Festival is cancelled

All,
Surreal that a 73 year tradition had to be canceled. Select events are anticipated to be reschedueld. We take no victory lap as this decision affects so many people from our community. It was not an option to allow this disaster in the making to continue. Public health is paramount period. Alison and I thank each and every one of you for your passionate support for the issue. We must stay connected to the issues and keep fighting for what you believe is in the beat interest of a community. You will find us both on the social media groups raising the issues of whether churches should be ignoring instruction of the state and concern about theatres remaining open, even at limlited capacity restriction. Take action! We urge you not to remain silent even though your opinion is the minority. Look at what we accomplished in 3 days with Azalea, some tweets, and some letters to constituants. Now is the time to self isolate and allow our community to prepare. Should our health care systems fall, we will immediately feel the effect of a National State of Emergency in a more restrictive capacity. Take care of yourself and those closest to you.
Kind Regards,
Josh and Alison
