canceled

It was just announced that the New York State Department of Education has canceled this January's High School Regents exams.

Out of an abundance of caution Zac Brown made the difficult decision to cancel four dates on their 'The Comeback Tour'.

The lingering effects of COVID-19 and staff shortages have claimed another festival. This time it's the Little Italy Streetfest in Schenectady. It's unfortunate but organizers and restaurant owners agree that there is no way they would be able to have enough employees to keep up with the high demand.

Not even the magic of the season could prevent city officials from canceling the popular Schenectady Holiday Parade which would have celebrated it's 52nd year.  Instead, Schenectady's Mayor announced on Monday that the celebration of all things St. Nick had officially been scrapped.

There will be no area high school football, volleyball or competitive cheer until the Spring after the New York State Public High School Athletic Association made the decision to  pull the plug yesterday.

At this point in 2020 it sure would be a lot more fun to write about what is still happening and not what isn't happening due to the pandemic, but to be frank, that wouldn't leave us with a whole lot to write about.  It was announced early on Monday that the Albany beer festival which celebrates German tradition every fall, Oktoberfest 2020, has officially been canceled.

The hits keep coming in 2020 and while this one doesn't come as surprise to anyone, a long running tradition for one of Albany's most interesting and colorful streets has been canceled.

There have been so many events canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The organizers of a local wine and food fest thought postponing it until fall would be plenty of time for things to go back to normal, but they had to put a cork in it.

The Annual Saratoga Balloon and BBQ Festival were originally scheduled for June 19 through 21 at the Saratoga County Fairgrounds now they have been canceled for 2020.

All crime has been canceled in East Greenbush due to the coronavirus.
