I received my refund shortly after I called and asked for it.

I was also given the options of waiting for the re-scheduled date, or a voucher for a future show at 105% of the ticket value.

Call the box office and leave a message. They will call you back a few days later.

In order to facilitate reopening of the town squares the villages entertainment department is reviewing a one and only one line dance called the hula hoop.

Understand now???

Winston, you have my undying respect for founding the TV Beatles group, but I'd just like to point out that there's a lot of worrying going on about "touching" that may well be unwarranted. The experts say the main route of transmission is from virus particles expelled from a cough or sneeze, or possibly from talking, and direct contact with the mouth, nose and eyes.


Excerpt: "It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but we are still learning more about this virus." How Coronavirus Spreads | CDC

There has been no mention in any of these posts that Covid transmission is much less likely outdoors than it is indoors.

A large % of deaths have occurred in Nursing Homes and in Assisted Living Facilities.

Now the % of individuals who actually get the virus survive around 90%.

Each year, Cancer, Heart Disease, Automobile Fatalities, Flu, far exceed Covid 19 deaths.

IMO, Americans need to be alert, smart, when inside or outside, that said America needs to return to normalcy...… Now.

Why does so many folks use the totally incorrect flu deaths comparison? (Polly want a cracker?) The highest PREDICTED death rate for the flu for the 6 month 2019-2020 flu season (season isn't over yet) is ESTIMATED by the CDC to be BETWEEN 24,000 and 66,000 over SIX months. Covid has killed over 80,000 in 3 months so far and could easily exceed 120,000 in an equal 6 months. 2019-2020 U.S. Flu Season: Preliminary Burden Estimates | CDC

During the 2018-19 flu season, about 35 million people in the US contracted the flu and about 34,000 died, according to the CDC.

So that claim is totally incorrect plus COVID is 2X as contagious.

US coronavirus death rates compared to the seasonal flu, by age group - Business Insider

• The flu and the new coronavirus have similar symptoms, but the latter is far deadlier.
• Here's how the two diseases' death rates compare among various age groups in the US.
• The coronavirus is five to 10 times more deadly than the flu for those between the ages of 0 and 45. It is 12 1/2 times more deadly than the flu for those over 85.

Oh, and someone who has Cancer or Heart disease can't inadvertently give it to their friends or family. Poor analogy.

I saw a small note at the bottom af the paper today which said “note: nightly entertainment at town squares has been canceled indefinitely”. Many folks are drawn to the three town squares for the food and entertainment. Would be desolate if entertainment is canceled “forever” similar to the closure of Katie Belle. Somebody tell me this isn’t true!!!!!

Indefinitely does not mean permanently
