This is the second Easter during the pandemic, and churches across the Central Coast are hosting services and festivities using a hybrid model and modifications to the age old traditions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
On Saturday, San Luis Obispo Nazarane Church held a masked and socially-distanced Easter Egg Hunt at Islay Hill Park. We used to have a situation where the kids would gather round and have a store, [but now] weâre going with a separation. We donât get the eggs back, we try to keep the social distancing, and the masks going on, explained Pastor Doug Smee.
Trail mix Check out the SLO County Parks and Recreation Department s trail map at gis.slocounty.ca.gov/parks/#/parks-trails-map for information about local hiking trails. For general county park and hiking information, visit slocountyparks.com. Ask any SLO County resident what they love most about living on the Central Coast, and their response will likely point to the region s vast amount of open space and the gorgeous weather. The appreciation for outdoor recreation was reinvigorated last year when the public health crisis resulted in stay-at-home orders that effectively closed entertainment and restaurant industries; the orders also came with a recommendation to get outside at a safe distance from others.
