LAKEWOOD — Village residents will not be able to enjoy Summerfest or typical Fourth of July celebrations this year, which were officially canceled by the village board at a meeting Monday.
Last week, Lakewood Mayor Randy Holcomb announced that the village would not be holding its Independence Day fireworks celebration due to COVID-19. On Monday, the board discussed how the pandemic might impact summer activities at Hartley Park, in particular the beach.
