If you had planned to attend the previously scheduled Formoso Fun Day, change your plans. The event will not be held this year. Organizers hope the event can be rescheduled for the spring.

At the current time, COVID-19 has the Jewell County community reeling. Lavernia Peters, mayor and former Formoso postmaster, estimates at least a third of the community’s 98 residents have been infected with COVID including the two people who were heading up the fun day committee. One of those is thought to be recovering at home. The other was in Missouri and not able to return to Formoso.
