It’s that time of year again. The time when we’d typically be ramping up work on the Oakhurst Porchfest.

Sadly, this year’s different.

For reasons we now understand all too well, we're mired in uncertainty. We’re your neighbors. Not doctors or epidemiologists. We’re in no position to make determinations about your health and safety 4 months from now. And because we have no way of predicting exactly how COVID-19 and its associated need for social distancing might impact our ability to gather come Saturday, October 10, we’ve made the difficult decision to stand down this year.

Yes, Porchfest is ultimately the product of hundreds of neighbors doing their own thing — contributing in small ways to something much larger than themselves — but we know you’ve come to depend on us to coordinate the big picture specifics. We wish we could be there for you again this year and look forward to better prospects in 2021.

See you around.
