Levy County Sheriff Bobby McCallum, along with Chairman Matt Brooks of the Levy County Board of County Commissioners, reminds everyone that events including festivals and outdoor gatherings have been postponed or cancelled under the Governor’s Safer at Home order and Levy County’s Emergency Order 2020-026 that prohibits gatherings of 10 or more people. We appreciate the cooperation with local community leaders in working with county officials to keep our public safe.
Large community events such as the Cedar Key Arts Festival, 2020 Crab Festival, and the Wild Hog Canoe Race, typically draw thousands of participants to our area. After several constructive meetings with community leaders and event organizers, it was mutually determined that the postponing of these events are in the best interest for the health and safety of our residents and visitors.
We thank the members of the public for their understanding and cooperation during the difficult times caused by this pandemic. Working together, we will get through these difficult times and become stronger as a community.
