ENID, OK - Given the situation with the COVID-19 virus, the Oklahoma Chautauqua Council has decided to cancel the 2020 Chautauqua programs in Tulsa, Enid, Lawton and Altus.
-
The Enid dates had been June 9-13 inside Humphrey Heritage Village at the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center.
-
The scholars who were to participate in this season’s Chautauqua program were arriving from all parts of the country, and the Chautauqua Council felt it was unnecessary to put the scholars, committee members or audiences at additional risk of contracting the disease.
-
“It is definitely in everyone’s best interests that this year’s Chautauqua be postponed,” Enid Chautauqua Council president Mike Gwinnup said. “We need to do what we can to help stop the spread of this virus. We’ll get past this and be ready for 2021.”
-
This season’s program, “20th Century Visionaries: Catalysts for Change,” will become the 2021 Chautauqua program, with dates to be announced.
