2020 Gospel Music Fan Awards Postponed
In order to comply with federal mandates and the CDC’s
recommendation for limiting public gatherings due to the Coronavirus, Wilds
& Associates has announced the cancellation of the 2020 Gospel Music
FanFair scheduled for May 11-16 in Somerset, KY.
Earlier today, Wilds & Associates CEO Randall Wilds released
this official statement:
“We have been closely monitoring the developments concerning
COVID-19 and will continue to assess the situation. But at this time, we felt
we had no choice but to cancel the 16th annual Gospel Music FanFair for the
sake of everyone’s health and safety. We are disheartened with having to make
this decision. The fellowship and comradery among fans, artists and industry
leaders that we have enjoyed for the past 15 years will be missed. Thank you for
your patience and understanding during these uncertain times.”
“I have faith that we will overcome this horrific pandemic
by the help of God. With our hope and trust in Him, we can look to a brighter
future. Unless Christ returns before then, I hope to see everyone happy and
healthy at next year’s Gospel Music FanFair already planned for May 10 through
the 15th. In the meantime, let’s continue to do all we can to help those who
have been effected by the virus and continue to pray for our nation and for one
another.”
The 2020 Gospel Music Fan Awards scheduled on the final evening
of the event has not been cancelled but is being postponed until a later date. Tentative
plans are underway to televise and/or live stream the event without a live audience.
Details are forthcoming. To stay informed of further developments on this and
