Memorial Day is the traditional kick off to summer. The three-day holiday weekend is usually filled with parades, Grubstake Days, visits to cemeteries, and backyard barbecues with friends and neighbors. Obviously, in the COVID era, things are going to look different this year. Managing editor Tami Roleff offers some ideas of how you can celebrate at home…
In this time when we are supposed to stay at home, we can still honor our military veterans who have died by watching their favorite TV shows, drinking their favorite beer, or listening to their favorite songs.
If you are outdoorsy, you can go camping. Campgrounds in Joshua Tree National Park opened this week, but if they are filled, sleep in your backyard for a night.
If you miss the annual Grubstake Days parade, create your own parade. Coordinate a social distancing parade where each family gets in their own car and parades around the neighborhood with patriotic gear or signs of support.
