ARRC Taking Wait and See Approach to McKay Day

The Akron Railroad Club is taking a wait and see approach on its first outing of the year, the annual Dave McKay Day in Berea.

The event is scheduled for May 2, but club officers announced this week that they will wait to see what modifications of social distancing orders are made before making a decision on holding the event as scheduled or postponing it.

The event is named after the late Dave McKay, who served as president of the ARRC for 12 years before his death in late December 2004.

The club has canceled its April meeting due to social distancing guidelines and the closure of the New Horizons Christian Church during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The meeting had been set for April 24. The club also canceled its March meeting due to the pandemic.
