It was an annual event in Allentown. Music Fest was a delight for all sorts of things, including aromatic food, throbbing music, carnival rides, and multitudes of booths to investigate.
Not all was happy this year, though. It was hard to imagine staying six feet apart in the usual throngs. Harder still to sing through a face mask. Licenses for food booths were much more restrictive than usual, and most had been denied.
It just didn’t feel very festive, with only one stage and two food canopies.
Dratted virus!

Social distancing does not make for a great party atmosphere!

Indeed not. There was some question as to whether Musik Fest would be held this year, but I hear they’re going ahead with it.

I hope this virus passes real soon… Although I am skeptical. Your story highlighted the lack of atmosphere we now face. Well done.

Perhaps someone could create a Covid Dance – two meters apart for everyone.

A least you are only six feet apart, we are two metres from each other which is six inches more!

Does anyone measure, except for stores who are putting tape down every six feet? I’ll be so glad when this is all a faded memory.

Hope not. It will be a great stimulus for our broken economy. People are begging to go back to work!

Yes, this virus had disrupted so much of our normal life, hopefully not for too much longer.

It’s sad but doable. Because of all the frustration they should watch it online. I go to Mass, meetings, and other things on Zoom and Youtube. There’s nothing like the personal in person touch though. Our only real consolation is that it’s temporary

Yes. I can’t wait to get back to regular services. Two more weeks. We’ve been doing the same–Zoom, You Tube, and we’re grateful. But it’s just not the same.

It does. Still haven’t heard an absolute decision, but I’m thinking no, or at least much smaller. We’re too close to Philly, where the virus is still in very high numbers.
