ELKINS On Feb. 24, the Elkins- Randolph County Chamber of Commerce held the first installment of Distance Socially, Eat Locally. The event took place at 1863 Appalachian Bistro and was sponsored by Davis Trust Company. 68 meals were picked up curbside between 4 and 6 p.m.
The Distance Socially, Eat Locally event series was created by the Chamber to encourage the community to support locally-owned businesses during this unprecedented time. Members of the community were able to pre-order their meals through the Chamber and then pick them up curbside. The event served as a way to foster support for local businesses while offering a safe alternative to indoor dining.
The chamber did release the kickoff date, however: June 5.
Once more, the virtual competition is intended to be a COVID-safe alternative during a time that will still require physical distancing for public safety. However, the chamber said you should start sketching out your dream sand creation for the 2021 season now.
The committee is working on COVID-safe small celebratory events to accompany the virtual contest, such as music. More details will appear in the coming months on the Sandcastle Contest web page and Facebook page for updates.
Cannon Beach has hosted this Oregon Heritage Tradition event since 1964. Until the COVID pandemic it had been held every year. Like 2020, this year still demands caution, explained Chamber Executive Director, James Paino.
