CHINCOTEAGUE FIRE DEPARTMENT CANCELS PONY PENNING AND CARNIVAL
(WESR/Shore Daily News)
The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department will be cancelling the 2020 Chincoteague Volunteer Fireman’s Carnival & Pony Penning.
In a Facebook post Monday afternoon, Alex Tucker, President of the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company, Inc, wrote the following:
“Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic and after carefully analyzing the three Phases as set forth by Governor Northam for opening Virginia, the Board of Directors of the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company voted to cancel the 2020 Chincoteague Volunteer Fireman’s Carnival & Pony Penning celebration scheduled to begin July 2, 2020. Please understand that this was not an easy decision to make, with the last pony penning being cancelled over 78 years ago during the second World War. We know how much this community loves this fire company and supports our carnival but with the restrictions put into the phases to prevent the spread of the corona virus, it was the only logical decision to make.
With this said, the foals of the pony herd will be sold by way of online auction, with a date to be determined by the Pony Committee. Plans are still being arranged as to where the ponies will physically be during the auction and we encourage you to keep a close watch on the developments as plans are made public on the auction. Our longtime auctioneer Tim Jennings will be conducting the auction and it should be a positive event for this fire company.
I pray all of you are staying safe, and please don’t hesitate to call us if you need us. We will always be here for you!”

A little humor to the rescue...
I hope they give us two weeks notice before sending us back out into the real world. I think we'll all need the time to become ourselves again. And by "ourselves" I mean lose 10 pounds, cut our hair and get used to not drinking at 9:00 a.m.
New monthly budget: Gas $0 Entertainment $0 Clothes $0 Groceries $2,799.
Breaking News: Wearing a mask inside your home is now highly recommended. Not so much to stop COVID-19, but to stop eating.
Low maintenance chicks are having their moment right now. We don't have nails to fill and paint, roots to dye, eyelashes to re-mink, and are thrilled not to have to get dressed every day. I have been training for this moment my entire life!
When this quarantine is over, let's not tell some people.
I stepped on my scale this morning. It said: "Please practice social distancing. Only one person at a time on scale."
Not to brag, but I haven't been late to anything in over 6 weeks.
It may take a village to raise a child but I swear its going to take a vineyard to home school one.
I wanted zombies and anarchy. Instead we got working from home and toilet paper shortages. Worst Apocalypse ever.
You know those car commercials where there's only one vehicle on the road - doesn't seem so unrealistic these days ...
They can open things up next month, I'm staying in until July to see what happens to you all first.
Day 37: The garbage man placed an AA flyer on my recycling bin.
The spread of Covid-19 is based on two things:
1. How dense the population is.
2. How dense the population is.
Appropriate analogy: "The curve is flattening so we can start lifting restrictions now" = "The parachute has slowed our rate of descent, so we can take it off now".
People keep asking: "Is coronavirus REALLY all that serious?" Listen y'all, the churches and casinos are closed. When heaven and hell agree on the same thing it's probably pretty serious.
Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go up to a bank teller wearing a mask and ask for money.
Home school Day 1: I'm trying to figure out how I can get this kid transferred out of my class.
Putting a drink in each room of my house today and calling it a pub crawl.
Okay, the schools are closed. So do we drop the kids off at the teacher's house or what?
For the second part of this quarantine do we have to stay with the same family or will they relocate us? Asking for myself ...
Coronavirus has turned us all into dogs. We wander around the house looking for food. We get told "No" if we get too close to strangers and we get really excited about going for walks and car rides.
The dumbest thing I've ever bought was a 2020 planner ...
I was in a long line at 7:45 am today at the grocery store that opened at 8:00 for seniors only. A young man came from the parking lot and tried to cut in at the front of the line, but an old lady beat him back into the parking lot with her cane. He returned and tried to cut in again but an old man punched him in the gut, then kicked him to the ground and rolled him away. As he approached the line for the 3rd time he said, "If you don't let me unlock the door, you'll never get in there."
Enjoy your day. You don't have anything else to do.
*2020: you see a man in a store not wearing a mask and think you're in danger.
*Until further notice the days of the week are now called Thisday, Thatday, Otherday, Someday, Yesterday, Today and Nextday!
*Just asked a 6-year-old if he understands why there is no school. He said "yes, because they are out of toilet paper."*After years of wanting to thoroughly clean my home but lacking the time, this week I discovered that wasn’t the reason.*If you thought toilet paper was crazy ... just wait until 300 million people all want a haircut appointment.
*This cleaning with alcohol is total BS. NOTHING gets done after that first bottle.
*Kinda’ starting to understand why pets try to run out of the house when the door opens.*My Mom always told me I wouldn’t accomplish anything by laying in the bed all day, but look at me now! I’m saving the world!*Whoever owes you money, go to their house now. They should be home.
*Is your car getting 3 weeks per gallon now? Mine is.
*It’s like being 16 again, gas is cheap and I’m grounded.
*Low gas prices during the lockdown is like a bald man winning a hairbrush.
*In a month, 88% of blondes will disappear from the earth.
*All those grandparents who are missing their grandkids now, once this over, you can have them for a month.
*And just like that, our pastor became a televangelist.
*Can we uninstall 2020? This version has a virus.
*Mom, is that offer to slap me into next year still on the table?”
*Powerball is up to a 48 pack of Charmin'.
*I’ve been trying to make hand sanitizer but it keeps coming out rum and Coke.
