What is happening in your state?
In the city of Rochester, we have 3 major people gathering events called off for 2020....
Down By The Riverside Summer concert series at Mayo Park
Rochesterfest.....city wide celebration
Thursdays on 1st and 3rd ( for several weeks from initial start in June until further nitice.)
Word on the Minnesota Renaissance Festival still out as well as our annual Science Fiction convention in Minneapolis. I suspect those will be called off as well. Both are HUGE people gathering events that make social distancing difficult. Minnesota has not peaked yet.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
