Issues Cease, Desist
To Mount Vision Fest
MOUNT VISION – The Otsego County Health Department is warning the public to stay away from the NY Harvest & Freedom Fair/Political Rally at 397 County Highway 15, just west of here, after it was declared a "nonessential gathering" and ordered not to take place.
According to a press release from Public Health Director Heidi Bond, the county Health Department became aware of the event and issued a cease and desist order on Thursday.
However, Bond was notified the event was being held regardless, she said, which would have been a violation of Executive Order 202.8 and Executive Order 202.45: "Businesses/events must limit all non-essential gatherings to 50 or fewer individuals for any lawful purpose or reason."
