With COVID-19 restrictions falling away, Bristol’s venerable Mum Festival is a “go” for this year along with the Apple Harvest Fest in Southington and the Oyster Festival in Norwalk.
ITHACA, NY Things have been changing rapidly over the past few months as more and more people are being vaccinated in Tompkins County and throughout the state and country. As it stands currently, about 36% of people in the county are fully vaccinated, and nearly 60% of people have received their first dose. With eligibility open to everyone 16+, itâs not unreasonable to think the county could hit the 75-80% vaccination number needed to reach herd immunity sometime this summer.
So what does that mean for residents? Well, with ever-evolving science and changing guidelines, itâs hard to say exactly. Local businesses are starting to relax some of their capacity requirements, restaurants are looking forward to welcoming more people both inside and out, and there will be some live entertainment available this summer, something that was nearly impossible to find a year ago.
