Today, the Mountain Maryland PACE committee announced they have cancelled their annual Annapolis event scheduled for January 2021.

Concerns surrounding the pandemic have led Mountain Maryland PACE to cancel their annual event typically held in the meeting room of the hotel on West Street in Annapolis. The event is always well attended, and the group decided that due to crowd size restrictions and travel concerns, the practical decision was to cancel the event.

From the press release:

“The PACE committee has been committed to the promotion of Allegany and Garrett Counties in Annapolis for 45 years. After weighing the benefits, risks, and costs surrounding our annual event, we decided to proceed with an early cancellation in order to devote more time into developing an alternate plan,” says PACE Co-Chair, Jeremy Irons. “Though our in-person event is cancelled, the work of the PACE committee will continue on. The Maryland General Assembly will still go in to session and we are committed to finding innovative ways to promote our region and shine a spotlight on the unique assets and challenges of Mountain Maryland.”

Plans for the return of an in-person event in 2022 are already underway.
