ROANOKE, Va. – In a year full of fright, Halloween is presenting a new predicament: to party during a pandemic or not. “The big event just felt too big for right now and the right thing, it just felt like the right thing to do was just kind of pull back,” Martin said. “We wrestled with it and knock on wood, everything up-to-date has been pretty successful,” said Bryan Summerson, president of Big Lick Brewing Company. Big Lick Brewing Company is still celebrating Halloween thanks to outdoor space and guidelines they’ve been enforcing for months. Big Lick Entertainment in conjunction with the Berglund Center is also implementing strict policies to keep its outdoor celebration safe.
