BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) — Halloween is right around the corner and the city of Beckley is already finalizing its decision on the Youth Museum Tailgate Halloween.
According to Leslie Baker, the City’s Parks and Recreation Director, they have decided to cancel the Youth Museum Tailgate Halloween for the second year in a row due to COVID-19 concerns. The event typically brings in about 800 kids who come and get their candy and enjoy the event.
Baker said “It is with a heavy heart that they have to cancel the event this year, with the way the numbers are trending they would rather be safe than sorry.”
Baker adds they look forward to coming back with a bang in 2022.
