St. Joan of Arc French Market Press Release
July 6, 20202020 FRENCH MARKET CANCELED
THE RAFFLE IS A GO!
With the recent resurgence of the COVID-19 virus in Marion County, the St. Joan of Arc French Market committee has chosen to cancel the 2020 French Market. Anyone who attended last year’s French Market, where we wined and dined 10,000 people in ten hours, can see that it would be impossible to safely repeat such an event with a deadly and highly-communicable disease present among us.
The delicious French Market menu that we all love is prepared on-site by trained professional chefs and volunteers in a hot and crowded kitchen. We simply could not ask them to risk it this year.
To everyone who has supported and enjoyed the French Market in the past 30 years, please continue that support. The best way to do that is with the French Market Raffle. As in the past, when inclement weather spoiled the fun, we have relied on the Raffle to see us through. Please consider spending at least half of what you would have spent for food, wine and art on 2020 COVID-cancelled French Market Raffle tickets. They’re at the printer and we’ll let you know when they are available.
Who knows, you might walk away from this year’s French Market with a fabulous prize or a thousand dollars, instead of exhaustion and a sunburn or, much worse, COVID.
