HARRISTOWN NEWS: Giveaways to halt as COVID increases

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. A time for giving thanks, gathering with friends and loved ones, and the beginning of the holiday season. All this is good, but let’s not get careless in protecting ourselves and others. Please, avoid large gatherings, wear a mask when in a group, wash your hands often and practice social distancing. We are resourceful people who can make plans to have a fun, but safe Thanksgiving.
