McHenry postpones ShamRocks the Fox
McHenry has postponed its ShamRocks the Fox event originally scheduled for this weekend due to concerns with the COVID-19 outbreak.
Included are the St. Patrick's Day parade, Shamrock Shuffle (5K Run), river dyeing, and a ShamRocks the Fox special event at the Miller Point on Riverside Drive.
City staff members are discussing the logistics of possibly holding the event later in the year.
Being conscious of the impact the decision may have on businesses, the city is allowing the open carry of alcoholic beverages in the downtown business district between Riverside Drive and Green Street from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.
