Organizers cancel York’s St. Patrick’s Day parade for 2022 due to COVID-19

For the second year in a row, the city of York’s annual Saint Patrick’s Day parade has been canceled for 2022 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and a lack of volunteers.

Organizers said in a press release that “while COVID-19 is the main reason we have decided to cancel the upcoming parade, the underlying problem of not having enough people to assist with putting it on was a major factor.”

“For years, a small group of devoted residents have brought the parade, and numerous corresponding events, to fruition on a shoestring budget,” the statement read. “Unfortunately, a small group can only do so much for so long. The committee needs new members to ensure this family-friendly tradition doesn’t become a thing of the past.”

Organizers said they are specifically looking for people to help with marketing, accounting, fundraising, social media and event planning. Those interested in volunteering should email YorkStPatParade@gmail.com.

As a result of the cancellation, all entry fees, sponsorships, and donations will be applied to the 2023 parade. Those who would like a refund should send mail to YSPDP, P.O. Box 1043, York, PA 17405-1043, or email YorkStPatParade@gmail.com.

If a second Thanksgiving, a second Christmas, a second St. Patrick's Day, a third Easter, and a third Independence Day, can be squelched through fearmongering (if not outright government oppression) it may not be much longer before people will not only not wish to return to pre-Plannedemic celebrations, but will actually begin to lose the memory of what such celebrations were like.

This is the CCP’s global “Cultural Revolution”.

Isn’t it clear now that they are out to destroy our society and our way of life, and that covid is the sledgehammer they’re using to attack it with? (didn’t GW say they hated us because of our way of life? - he must’ve meant the deep state globalists hate us, even though we all thought he meant muslim extremists. He probably had a good laugh about that at his country club with his globalist buddies.)

So they canceled a parade in December that is scheduled for March - here we go again in 2022 Cancel everything...

That far in advance tells me it’s about spoiling everyone’s good times, not about protection. After all, who can say what the conditions will be 3 months away?

They can ask us. We’re still celebrating all of those holidays. Mask-free. No vax cards required. 😏

All predicted by Ray Bradbury in "Fahrenheit 451."

He mentions a few eccentric types still trying to maintain the "old ways" in secret who, e.g., mistakenly celebrate Hallowe'en in mid-winter.

There will be libations, whoring, and fighting no matter a parade or not.

My wife showed me a meme: “2022 is pronounced 2020 too.”

I know people that have said “Covid will ALWAYS be with us forever.”

And some in reply have said “Well sure, until we get 100% vaccination and 100% masking everywhere.”

LOL! It wouldn’t matter if 100% of people got vaxxed, because COVID has animal reservoirs.
