The Pennsylvania State Mayors’Association have created an event called “Bells Across Pennsylvania Day,” a statewide event to take place on May 3, 2020.
The event has three purposes:
– To recognize and honor first responders, healthcare workers, and employees of grocery stores, pharmacies, and other life-sustaining businesses who have maintained essential services to the general public while at risk of infection from COVID-19, and deserve to be celebrated as “hometown heroes”.
– To show solidarity with elected officials and residents of municipalities across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, all of whom are fighting COVID-19 on the frontlines together in their communities.
– To demonstrate a collective resolve that Pennsylvanians will prevail over COVID-19 and work tirelessly to ensure that their businesses and civic life will thrive once again.
Punxsutawney mayor Richard Alexander and Big Run mayor Joseph L. Butebaugh issued proclamations about the special day.
