Post-parade St. Pat’s event canceled

–

SARANAC LAKE — While this village’s St. Patrick’s Day parade is still on for Saturday at 1 p.m., after-parade events at the Harrietstown Town Hall have been canceled to avoid spreading coronavirus.

In a prepared statement, SLIGO leaders said they made the decision after reviewing the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines and Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s directives, and consulting with local municipal officials and public health personnel.

“This was a difficult, but necessary decision,” said Ray Scollin, the public health officer for the village of Saranac Lake and town of Harrietsown, and also an organizer of the parade through the Saranac Lake Irish Gaelic Organization. “CDC guidance for community events suggests that gatherings should be scaled to the current local situation and the type of event being held. Out of an abundance of caution, we modified this year’s plan.”
