(Washington, D.C.) The CDC has released new guidance ahead of the holiday season, adding what they say you can do in order to keep your friends and family safe and healthy.

The Delta variant of COVID-19 remains a big concern, so the CDC is saying if you’re not vaccinated, there are things you should do to make sure you’re protecting your loved ones.

The agency says the safest way to celebrate the holidays is by having virtual celebrations, gathering outside in a socially distanced way, and by celebrating only with people who live in the same household.

If you are gathering indoors, make sure your windows and doors are open for better ventilation, and follow CDC guidelines like wearing a mask indoors if there are a lot of people at the gathering.

It’s also suggested to hold off on holiday travel like flying if possible, unless you’re fully vaccinated. If you’re not fully vaccinated and you’re traveling with children, choose otherways to get to your destination, like driving.

Looking past Thanksgiving, Dr. Anthony Fauci said it’s too soon to tell how things will look by Christmas time.

Geneva College started their 2021 Homecoming celebration with a parade through Beaver Falls on Saturday morning. The Golden Tornado Marching Band could be heard throughout downtown as student and other community based organizations followed them as the parade made its way from 12th street to the Geneva campus.  The parade wouldn’t have been complete without the Beaver County Radio fleet also making an appearance. Station Manager Mark Peterson, a Geneva graduate, led the fleet of station vehicles customized with signage from Signs Made Fast .

Once the parade wrapped up, Beaver County Radio’s Frank Sparks and Curtis Walsh maintained a position at the entrance of Reeves Field to give away prizes and conduct  interviews with many Geneva College representatives.  Throughout the afternoon,  Frank Sparks spoke with Geneva staff members Cheryl Johnston, Van Zanic, Dr. Anthony Comer, Dave Layton, Dr. Gordy Richards, President Dr. Calvin Troup, Judy Wilson, and Sarah Faulkner.  Students Mattie Burleigh, Julia Gallagher, Grant Dieter, and Manny Bravo were interviewed as well. Overall the day was a big success and Geneva College enjoyed a well deserved celebration. Photos from the day can be seen below:
