Old Settlers Day to be different

Although nothing could cancel class reunions and trips to Marion for Old Settlers Day weekend, this year’s festivities will be different because of COVID-19 concerns.

This year there will be no parade, meal at Central Park, or games sponsored by Marion Kiwanis.

Kiwanis board members met Wednesday and made the decision to forego those events in the interest of public health. It is hoped the beloved events can be held again in 2021.
