Dancing With the Vernon Stars put on hold

An annual Vernon fundraising event scheduled for this fall is postponed due to COVID-19 issues.

Dancing with the Vernon Stars 2020 was set for September 25 but the North Okanagan Hospice Society (NOHS) decided to put it on hold until later in the year, or early 2021.

“Given the current economic uncertainty, social distancing and public safety concerns, it would be very challenging to successfully conduct Dancing with the Vernon Stars, and so we are making the responsible decision to postpone the event until later in the fall 2020 or early spring 2021. We hope to have a firmer idea on event timelines by June. We will be updating our supporters on Facebook,” Ruth Edwards, executive director of the society said.
