Pivoting for the Holidays. How Arizona rural downtowns are planning for the 2020 winter holiday season… and beyond

 

Description: Communities across Arizona have spent much of their pandemic downtime reimagining their events and most currently planning for upcoming holiday activities. During this webinar, representatives from four rural communities will share how they have pivoted over the last few months in response to the pandemic, talk about their efforts and programs they have implemented to support their local businesses during these challenging times, and highlight some of the events and promotions they have planned for this year’s winter season and into 2021.
