FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE _____________________________________________________________ Kool April Nites P.O. Box 491618 Redding, CA 96003 MARCH 17, 2020 We have been closely monitoring the situation with COVID-19 and given the recommendations of the President of the United States, the Governor of California and the Center for Disease Control to eliminate all non-essential social gatherings, the Board of Directors has decided that Kool April Nites and all its associated events will be canceled April 18-26, 2020 and will resume April 17-25, 2021. We understand the disappointment and frustration of the public, but the health, wellness and safety of Redding’s citizens and our participants is our first priority. This decision was not made lightly as we understand the impact that this will have on our city, however we believe in this community and its ability to move through hardship and come out stronger. Our Board of Directors is comprised of volunteers with limited time and resources, therefore during this time we ask that you please be courteous and patient by limiting communications with our office while we work to inform all of our registrants, sponsors and volunteers about the process moving forward. We thank you all for your years of support of Kool April Nites and we look forward to seeing everyone next year for one amazing week of shows. Sincerely, KOOL APRIL NITES BOARD OF DIRECTORS
