If this were any other year, for most of us, it would be one of getting together with families, packing church pews and going on Easter egg hunts. But this Easter weekend is obviously not every other year. While it might be tempting to get together with folks you haven’t see for a while, the Marshalltown Area Chamber of Commerce reminds you that after “Happy Easter”, the two most important words this weekend are “social distancing”. Chamber President and CEO says the goal is to keep everyone healthy.

Olberding adds two more words for the days ahead, “be vigilant” and follow the requests of medical, government and law enforcement officials.
