MENTONE — After much research and investigation and through the council of Ed Rock Kosciusko County Emergency, Management Director, the Mentone Chamber of Commerce regrets to announce the cancellation of the Egg Festival for 2020.

Due to the COVID-19 virus and the uncertainty of when the crowd banning will be over, we have no choice but to cancel the event.

The Egg Fest is the second festival canceled Tuesday. The Northern Indiana Lakes Festival, set for late May, was canceled by organizers earlier Tuesday.

The Egg Festival had been scheduled for the first weekend in June. Next year’s event will be June 3-5.  

“We promise to come back better than before.  Please stay safe and do the right things so we can get back to normal,” said Rita Simpson, president Mentone Chamber of Commerce.
