This year’s annual Lakefest Celebration in downtown
Jamestown has been cancelled.
In a statement to WJRS News on Sunday, Mayor Nick Shearer
said he had received a letter from the Lake Cumberland District Health
Department stating the event must be cancelled due to the continuing fight
against COVID-19.
The letter from the Health Department says at this time they
are operating under the Executive Order issued by Governor Andy Beshear that
will prohibit such an event to be held due to the social distancing
requirements and the ban on groups of 50 or more people being allowed to gather.
