OLEY has officially been CANCELLED!!!
I just got off the phone with Barry Algeo, President of the Perkiomen Chapter and they have decided to cancel this years event. All vendor fees will be moved towards payment for next years meet. The AMCA has been in regular communication with Barry since the outbreak of Covid-19 and the AMCA Board fully supports their decision. A factor in this decision was the passing of an AMCA Pennsylvania Chapter President, Tom Real of the Nashaminy Valley Chapter, who passed away Saturday of the Coronavirus. This hits too close to home and is a stark reminder that this is not a situation we should take lightly. Our members are too important to risk their safety by putting them in harms way by being in a large public setting such as Oley. It is highly likely that the State or local authorities would have ban the event anyway, but it was time for this decision to be made prior to time. Barry said the Oley Fairgrounds was supportive in this decision as well. - Keith Kizer, AMCA Executive Director
