No Berry Fest in Platteville in 2020

Southwest Health in Platteville has announced that it will not host its annual Berry Fest in 2020 due to safety concerns associated with the COVID19 virus. In lieu of a large community gathering, Berry Fest organizers are planning a special version of their popular “Passport to Fun” program, inspiring children to complete a range of fun and healthy activities throughout Platteville’s Hometown Festival Week, July 18th to July 26th. This year would have been the 71^st Annual Berry Fest, a tradition began by the Auxiliary of the Platteville Municipal Hospital in 1950.
