Moscow Farmer’s Market will not open for the first weekend of May, Jen Pfiffner, deputy city supervisor, said during the Moscow City Council meeting March 16.
“The market will not happen the first weekend in May, we’re hoping for the second weekend in May,” Pfiffner said. “Again, we’ll continue to evaluate all these things, week to week, day to day, really, to see if any changes could be made or if those need to extend, unfortunately.”

ICYM: City of Moscow joins Idaho in declaring a state of emergency
“Ever since I’ve been the mayor I’ve loved lots and lots of activities downtown where we all can be down there enjoying our selves. And it’s kind of ironic is that we’re taking the complete opposite approach — which we need to,” Mayor Bill Lambert said during the City Council Meeting. “And ladies and gentlemen I so look forward to the day that we can go back to that, believe me, I’ll be the first one jumping with joy.”

Winter and Spring NCAA Championships
Last week the NCAA announced that all Division 1 men’s and women’s 2020 winter and spring championships are canceled.
“Today, NCAA President Mark Emmert and the Board of Governors canceled the Division I men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, as well as all remaining winter and spring NCAA championships,” a statement from the NCAA said. “This decision is based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat, our ability to ensure the events do not contribute to spread of the pandemic, and the impracticality of hosting such events at any time during this academic year given ongoing decisions by other entities.”
