A Note From Your Publisher: Info on Local Event Cancellations

Coronavirus means the situation is changing quickly

By Regeana Canada, Publisher March 15, 2020

This is an uncertain time, and things seem to be changing by the day -- if not the hour -- with coronavirus and the reaction to it as health officials and the government try to slow its spread.

Collinsville, Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Granite City, Madison, Maryville, Pontoon Beach, Troy and surrounding area events are being canceled and I will be marking them as such on the events calendar as I hear about them. But I always recommend verifying event details with the venue before you attend, and it is especially important to do so right now as Collinsville, Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Granite City, Madison, Maryville, Pontoon Beach, Tory and surrounding area  events may be canceled with little to no notice. 

Macaroni Kid Edwardsville-Glen Carbon will update our calendar as we hear of cancellations. For instance, Home Depot and Lowe's have canceled their kids' workshops nationwide for the time being. Afterwords Bookstore, YMCA

If you hear of any event cancellations not reflected on the Macaroni Kid Edwardsville-Glen Carbon events calendar, please reach out to me at regeanac@macaronikid.com or on our Facebook page and I will update the calendar.

Please watch the CDC, the Illinois Department of Health, and the Madison/St. Clair County Health Department for the latest news.

And, of course, please take care of yourselves and your family. (But leave some toilet paper for the rest of us.)
