SHENANDOAH – The annual Mrs. T’s Community Picnic is off, Ateeco, Inc. announced Monday.

The picnic was originally set for Sunday, Oct. 4 at the companies plant at Herald Road and Bridge Street.

“The health and safety of our guests, our vendors, and our employees are always our top priority. While we were looking forward to a day of celebrating our neighbors, there was no way to safely host the picnic at this time. We are hoping to bring back the tradition next year,” Tom Twardzik, President of Mrs. T’s Pierogies, said in a media release.

The company attributed the cancellation to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The annual event, which was set to enter its fifteenth year, typically draws around 1,000 Shenandoah residents.
