MUNCIE, Ind. After a laundry list of local summer events were postponed or canceled in 2020, many are annoucing their return as warm weather nears and the school year comes to an end.
Muncie and its surrounding areas will be home to plenty of outdoor, family-friendly activities, ranging from fairs to concerts. Some old favorites, like Artswalk, will return, while others will be totally new.
In late April, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) updated its mask guidelines for the summer, stating fully vaccinated Americans don’t need to cover their faces while outdoors anymore, unless they are in a big crowd of strangers.
FROM NEWS REPORTS
MUNCIE, Ind. Music has the power to unify, said Scott Watkins. As the new executive director of Muncie Symphony Orchestra, Watkins plans to do just that: bring the community together through music, according to a release.
“There’s something about the beauty and the truth in music; when it comes together, it creates something very powerful,” Watkins said in the release. “Music has the power to unify, it really does. It goes straight to the heart; people feel it, and they’re a part of it. When people listen to music, they don’t look at skin color or demographic background; they are looking at how they feel in the moment with other people around them; they are together for it. I want to use music to unify our community.”
