Alpena News editorial
The coronavirus has struck another popular Northeast Michigan event The Alpena News’ Business Expo and Newspapers in Education Book Sale.
“The expo has been delayed, not abandoned,” said Alpena News Publisher Bill Speer.
The first Saturday in February this year, the 6th would have been the 21st Business Expo sponsored by the newspaper. However, because of crowd size restrictions in the state right now and concern about bringing large crowds of people together in confined spaces, the staff at the newspaper made the decision to postpone the event until later, when it can be held safely again.
