(Deerfield, MA) The Deerfield Craft Fair has been cancelled due to COVID-19, according to a Facebook Post by the Deerfield Police Department. The fair is a yearly event and is the only fundraiser for the town.
“We will do our best to continue to support the community as we do every year by donating to many causes in Deerfield,” read the social media post announcing the cancelation.
The second wave of COVID-19 is starting to impact many area businesses and schools. Hatfield and Frontier Regional schools had all remote learning days last week, and this week Bernardston Elementary is wrestling with a COVID-19 positive diagnosis in the community. The news is not without hope, however, as Moderna says its vaccine is 94.5% effective in preventing COVID-19.
