    #Naturally Together in Lewis County: COVID-19 Pandemic Memorial
    Week

    When: March 15th - 19th

    Lewis County is honoring our local heroes and remembering our loved ones
    lost as we approach the one year anniversary of COVID-19 being present in
    our community. March 16th, 2021 marks the one year anniversary of Lewis
    County declaring a state of emergency in response to the COVID-19
    pandemic. Since that time, our community has rallied together in an effort to
    support those directly impacted by the illness.

    As of March 1, 2021, 1,783 people in Lewis County have tested positive and
    we have lost 27 people to the illness. All of us have been touched in some
    way by COVID-19.

    Lewis County would like to recognize all the essential businesses and
    employees for your continuous support that you provide for the community.
    As we enter this year with hope, the week of March 15 - 19 we ask that the
    community come together once again to show your appreciation for those
    that have kept us safe during this unprecedented time.

    COVID-19 Pandemic Memorial Week is a collaborative effort between Lewis
    County, the business community, and the faith community to bring the
    community together to honor and remember the past year. We have chosen
    the color blue and the Forget-Me-Not flower as symbols of recognition.
    During the week, residents of Lewis County will have opportunities to
    express their support and gratitude by:

  • Join a Virtual Commemorative Service on March 16th at 7:00pm hosted
    by the Lowville Clergy

  • Simply wear blue to demonstrate your appreciation

  • Create a visual display by decorating windows, mailboxes, doors,
    lawns and homes

  • Enter a photo contest by submitting photos of your visual display

  • SHOP LOCAL. Show your appreciation for local businesses by
    shopping, eating and enjoying local this week. #NaturallyTogether
    #ShopLocal

  • Reach out to our essential workers, friends and neighbors to say
    thanks, offer support or just say hello.

  • Share your stories of community kindness during this unprecedented
    time. #NaturallyTogether
