This is a much-needed event to pull the community together. Ginger Johnson, Run Amok Racing, spoke to their 5K event in conjunction with the carnival. They made a real effort to work with the carnival and to work within the allotted space they have. With the COVID guidelines regarding spacing, she does not see how they can make their race run safely and follow the COVID and safety guidelines. She does not believe her event, and the carnival, can happen on the same day. Cody Morgan, owner of Peninsula BevCo, said his restaurant is right next to where the festival is going to happen. He wants it to go on, but voiced concerns with the parking and noted his restaurant, at this time, is 2L and over and does not allow families which is what the carnival will draw.
