Ammon Days to take place with modifications
AMMON, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - The City of Ammon is going to hold Ammon Days this year, but things are going to be a little different.
First, all City employees working the event will be wearing protective face coverings.
The city encourages attendees and vendors to consider the safety of the community and wear one as well.
"If you are feeling unwell or if you have been around someone feeling unwell, STAY HOME! Wash your hands, don’t touch your face, don’t touch your neighbor’s face, and practice physical distancing by staying at least six (6) feet away from anyone not in your immediate household," the city said in a press release.
The event schedule has been modified.
Ammon Days will extend from the evening of Friday, July 31 through the evening of Saturday, August 1. You can view the schedule below.
