Veterans Day Celebration – Due to the COVID-19 guidelines in place in the Commonwealth of Virginia, we have reduced the size of the ceremony and the number of guests this year. Please understand that individuals attending will need to follow social distancing and mask guidelines while onsite. Although the ceremony is smaller it still honors all Veterans and their families.

There will not be any form of shuttle service running or manned booths. If you are experiencing COVID-19 related symptoms, have had exposure in the past 14 days, are awaiting test results, or are at increased risk of illness we ask you not to make any plans for in-person attendance. We will video the ceremony and have it posted in a timely manner on the Town of Abingdon website at www.abingdon-va.gov.

Ribbon Campaign to Support Healthcare Workers
TOWN OF ABINGDON
133 WEST MAIN STREET · P. O. BOX 789 · ABINGDON, VIRGINIA · 24212
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 5, 2020
Ribbon
Campaign to Support Healthcare Workers
The Town of Abingdon and the Washington County, VA Chamber
of Commerce are joining together for the Apricot
Ribbon Campaign to honor and celebrate the healthcare workers in our area.
As cases of COVID-19 rise in our region, it is
important to show support for all the doctors, nurses, and front line workers
who are battling this crisis. Our area hospitals are almost at capacity with
patients and have started deferring procedures unless they are an emergency. It
is very important to show support and lift the spirits of our healthcare
workers during this time when they are exhausted and risking their lives.
The Town of Abingdon and the Chamber will display
ribbons in various locations and encourage the community to place them at their
residences and/or businesses. With the help of volunteers, there will be over
300 ribbons made to display. You can
pick up ribbons at Abingdon Town Hall (133 West Main Street) or the Washington
County Chamber of Commerce (One Government Center Place).
“As Mayor of the Town of Abingdon, and a
Pharmacist in our community, I completely support this campaign, and anyway we
can show support for our healthcare workers, said Mayor Derek Webb. With
COVID-19 numbers on the rise, it is important to show how the Town of Abingdon
can support healthcare workers by displaying these ribbons throughout the town.”
The ribbon and supplies to make the bows were generously
provided by Misty’s Florist of Abingdon and the Floral Department of the
Abingdon Food City, in addition to community donations.
*The Apricot
Ribbon Campaign was started by the Kentucky Nurses Association. The color apricot
represents nursing and is the color of optimism and warmth.
