HURLEY – Two annual events scheduled for September are cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak. The Hurley Chamber of Commerce announced they pulled the plug on Festivale Italiano 2020. Officials say they worked to come up with alternate plans but in the end community health was the factor in the cancellation. The 42nd annual Bessemer Pumkinfest is also being postponed for the same reasons. Organizers say they hope to make the festival bigger and better when it returns in 2021.
