The Board of Directors of the Clarksville Lake Country Chamber of commerce met Thursday, June 11th to discuss the status of the event and as of right now we still are moving forward with the scheduled event BUT will make the final decision June 26th. We collectively want to hold off postponing the event until we see what phase 3 is going to look like before we rushed to a decision, however, if we do decide not to have it in July we plan to reschedule to Sept 17-19th.
We believe Lakefest brings economic value to our small businesses and we do plan to do the right thing at the end of the day. We just ask you give us more time to see what the governor restrictions are in Phase 3. We appreciate your patience in our decision.
There are parts of Lakefest that won’t be happening in July if it is still a go. The Balloon Tethering event is canceled. There will be no sand sculpture this year (unless we can find someone who does it between time) and the car show will not be at Century 21 on the Lake.
We have ordered Lakefest T-shirts and hope to have them available in a few weeks. If you are interested in sponsoring the Virginia Lake Festival, please contact us asap.
Thank you,
from the Board of Directors
