The annual mayoral turn on the merry-go-round with some students that has been a tradition for decades was not possible leading into Memorial Day weekend of 2020.
The ride was, again, one of the events that was canceled last year due to safety concerns surrounding the unknown nature of how the coronavirus was spread.
A year ago, municipalities were quickly closing down playgrounds, and taping off equipment after at first telling parents they should just social distance with their children and consider wiping down equipment between children using it. Basketball nets were taken down to discourage people from playing ball and getting too close and all the area’s historic carousels were shut down.
