2A | JULY 8, 2021 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL On The Record Gold Diggers Breakfast canceled until next year This year would have been the 57th consecu- tive Prospectors and Gold Diggers “Breakfast on the Mountain.” Unfortunately, attendees will have to wait until next year to experi- ence this unique breakfast. With crowds at the breakfast ranging from 800 to 1,000 people in the past, it just cannot hap- pen. For this type of event, with the geography of the park and uncertainty about social distancing, the event cannot accom- modate more than 300 people, said the organi- zation in a release. Most importantly, it has been unable to obtain a park permit or a temporary restaurant license. “Believe me, this was heartbreaking to all in- volved in the breakfast,” said event organizer Bruce McDonald. This would be the 20th year of the group heading up the event. Several local organiza- City Council policy, schedule changes tions play a part in mak- ing the breakfast a success. It is the biggest fundrais- er for the group, which gives scholarships to high school seniors as well as other contributions to lo- cal organizations. Because the breakfast has been unable to be held for the past two years, funds have been deplet- ed. The organization has had to maintain insurance and utilities at the Snapp House. With the generous do- nations from local com- munity members this year, however, the Prospectors and Gold Diggers are able to move forward. A special beer was even brewed by the Covered Bridge Brewing Group, a percentage of the earnings going to the group. Bas- kets were also raffled off during that event. “We look forward to seeing everyone next year on the mountain,” said McDonald. On June 30, Governor Kate Brown lifted the re- quirements for masks and distancing statewide. With the removal of those COVID-19 restric- tions, the city removed the requirement for masks and distancing in all city facili- ties. Beginning with the July 1 Special Meeting of the Cot- tage Grove City Council, all city council meetings and other official city meetings will be held in person. Pursuant to HB 2560, the meetings will continue to be available for virtual at- tendance. In addition, because of the Fourth of July holiday and the return of the Eu- gene Symphony to Cot- tage Grove, the regular city council meetings on July 12 and 26 have been can- celed and the city council will be meeting at 7 p.m. on Monday, July 19 in the City Council Chambers in City Hall.
