MEDFORD, Ore. – Over a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, a group said it wants a return to normalcy. Hundreds of people rallied in front of Medford City Hall Thursday night. Most, not social distancing and not wearing a mask. Something they say was intentional.
“They’re here for a reason, to make a statement saying hey we need to be heard we need a few things changed,” said Ron Converse, Medford resident.
The rally was organized by the owner of Medford’s Hawaiian Hut, Wes Hunt after seeing local business owners struggle through COVID-19 restrictions.
“I felt like it was my job to stick up for the smaller businesses when Hawaiian Hut has thrived off of this,” said Hunt
