Has the pandemic disrupted your plans for the future in any major way? If so, talk about the most significant disruption(s).

<strong> I went crystal digging in Arkansas with my high school friend several years. We were unable to go this year because of the pandemic and risks associated with traveling.</strong> We probably won’t go this coming spring due to the pandemic. Crystal digging has been the only vacation for me, so I really miss it. <strong> The arts council I belong to normally has an annual beer and food tasting event</strong> that raises funds to have the Old Time Music Festival in June. The BrewFest and Old Time Festival were <strong>both canceled in 2020.</strong> We will not have BrewFest in March because of the pandemic. We hope to have a scaled back music festival of one day but are unsure if it will be allowed in June. I coordinate BrewFest, so I need to find another way to raise funds to keep the festival going. <strong> I would like to see my 89 year-old mother and family in another state, but no one is allowed to visit nursing home residents,</strong> and the counties where they reside are virus hotspots. These things don’t appear to be major but<strong> when you don’t have a large circle of family and friends, the little things are important.</strong>
