Covid was never an excuse to close Katie Belles. Covid did cause theaters to close, nationwide. Our (once very busy) theater near our home in MD has permanently closed.

The golf show was cancelled due to covid for one year. The next year (again, due to covid) they did a scaled down version, over several weeks.They are doing the same (but bigger version) this year, which is probably costing them MORE money to put on...
