Fall event success

We wanted to take a moment this week to thank all of those individuals who have worked tirelessly to provide the community with some sense of normalcy as we head into the fall and winter months amid a pandemic. 
While it is impossible to name everyone specifically — for there are surely volunteers and contributors we are not aware of — the News Letter Journal wants to thank those who came together to host Warm Summer Nights, Madness on Main, the Fall Festival and the annual Shine and Show Car Show. 
As we have all navigated health orders from the state for the last 186 days, doing our best to remain aware of the ever changing circumstances surrounding COVID-19, these organizers went above and beyond to work with local health officials to plan their events amid the pandemic and see them through to successful fruition.
From the approval of plans by the public health officer, to conveying the changes to the Newcastle City Council, these organizers worked long hours making sure the events went off without a hitch.These events gave the community something to look forward to as summer came to an end and children returned to school.
Whether community members were there in person or viewed the events through the pages of this newspaper, seeing children playfully enjoying the spray from a fire hydrant, shining automobiles, and bands on stage in the middle of Main Street brought smiles and a sense of normalcy to our corner of Wyoming.
So, thank you all for all that you do. Newcastle and Weston County wouldn’t be the same without you and we all would have been a little more bored the last months of summer without all your hard work.
