Coronavirus Has Many Effects On Springdale Citizens, What Has Changed
Well, unless you live in a cave high up in the mountains, under a rock with no access to the outside world of any kid by now you know life as we know it is both moving alarmingly fast and coming to a standstill. COVID-19, more commonly known as Coronavirus, seems to have permeated every aspect of our lives. From our workplaces to our entertainment and our children's schools to major sporting events all over the country.

Here are some things that have been announced in case you missed them...
- University of Arkansas will go to exclusively online classes for the rest of the Spring semester.
- Arkansas State Capitol is closed to the public.
- Springdale Chamber of Commerce cancels Morning Brew for 2 weeks.
- Springdale Public Schools announces it is using hospital grade cleaner and prepares to possibly move classes to an online system.
- SEC Men's Basketball Tournament was cancelled.
- NCAA cancelled all Men's and Women's Winter and Spring sports and Championships through the end of the year.

While there have been many other announcements we believe some of these to directly effect our people here in Springdale. As we hear of other important news we will share it as well.

I hope this is a time where we see the best in people. I hope we see neighbors helping neighbors. Whether it is with their children who are out of school or the toilet paper they couldn't find at the store. It is at times like these where we reveal the true heart and soul of America.
The best of who we are as a people. Let us not be mislead by the panic and falsehood that we are so different and divided, but let us show the world how much we care for and take care of each other in times of crisis here in America.

I will do my best to help keep you posted as best I can on matters that affect us directly. God Bless.
