The annual Howell Day and Green Fair community celebration has been cancelled for 2020, but is expected to return in 2021.
The decision to cancel the event was announced on Aug. 20 as New Jersey’s residents and local officials continued to deal with the effects of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.
“Howell was hopeful the governor’s executive orders (related to the pandemic) would have been modified so we could have held Howell Day, hence our delay in making the call to cancel.
“Unfortunately, we are now to the point that even if the restrictions are lifted we would not have sufficient time to plan the event properly. We are considering the possibility of holding a similar event later in the year,” Geoghegan said.
