Louise Howson, from the Sister Bay Advancement Association, says the consensus among village businesses is that traffic for Labor Day weekend was better than could have been reasonably expected, especially compared to some of the predictions immediately after the onset of COVID-19 in the spring. Howson points out that the whole county shared in the success, and recent calls suggest it should continue.
Fall Fest has been canceled, pushing its 75th anniversary to 2021, but holiday events are still on schedule in Sister Bay. Howson expects this year's light display to be beefed up, adding in new elements for residents and visitors to enjoy. She says it was already the county's biggest and, given the quiet calendar due to COVID-19, the village felt a celebration is needed. The light display can be viewed safely in accordance with mitigation guidelines without a lot of adjustment.
