Weeks after the announcement that the annual Dell Rapids Relay for Life is cancelled due to the Covid-19 virus, two more summertime events in Dell Rapids are being altered because of the virus.

The Dell Rapids Legion Post 65 made an announcement on Facebook the night of Wednesday, May 14th.  After a meeting via teleconference, a decision was made to cancel the 2020 Legion Cootie Days.  As posted on their Facebook page, “It was a tough decision to cancel cootie days and was not taken lightly. Safety of the community has to take precedence, although disappointing, we could not have the carnival.”   The Legion is planning on working with Thomas Carnivals for the 2021 event.

The Dell Rapids Chamber of Commerce is also making changes to their annual Quarry Days celebration, which was to be held on June 26th through 28th.  The chamber is postponing the annual Quarry Days celebration to August 8th and 9th.

Dell Rapids Chamber of Commerce President Dan Ahlers said, “The chamber believes moving Quarry Days is a responsible step in promoting public safety.  We hope having it in August will provide a safer, more acceptable date and bring a sense of normalcy back to our summer.”
