After a year of disruption, the pandemic is again altering the regionâs big annual spring celebrations.
Art Under the Elms in Lewiston and Hempfest and the Renaissance Fair in Moscow were canceled in 2020. Organizers this year face conditions that change daily as they attempt to restore beloved events to the community.
Art Under the Elms
The Dogwood Festivalâs 36th annual Art Under the Elms was canceled last week because not enough vendors signed up to participate.
The three-day artisan fair was scheduled to take place in late April outdoors at Lewis-Clark State College, its usual location. Only artists and craftspeople were invited to register. Food vendors were not part of this yearâs event.
