Back on Halloween, downtown Orlando enacted a similar setup, but that ended up getting criticized for overcrowding.“We probably won’t be doing that again,” Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said shortly thereafter.
Christina Hollerbach serves as the President of Sanford Main Street and is also the CEO of Hollerbach’s Willow Street Cafe on East 1st Street.
Hollerbach told News 6 she’s optimistic Sanford won’t repeat Orlando’s mistakes.“We’re still seeing everybody be respectful of one another,” she explained. “Wearing masks, keeping distances, coming into shops with masks.
This is exactly what we wanted.”Businesses such as Jeanine Taylor Folk Art hope to make up for lost time in the business they see this holiday weekend.
