MEDICINE HAT, AB – Quonset Days 2020 is the latest summer event that has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A statement from the committee Friday morning says, “We completely agree with the decision of Alberta Health officials in the cancellation of all summer festivals. The health and recovery of all Albertans need to be the number one priority.”

They say the Quonset Days Foundation is committed to still supporting the ALS Society of Alberta.

“While we are currently facing a tough economic situation, we will recover. We want to thank all sponsors who have been so generous to our cause in the past and present.”

Quonset Days was to be held July 17 and 18 on the Biemans acreage southeast of Seven Persons.
