LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – Community Health of East Tennessee (CHET) and the Down & Derby Party committee announced today the cancellation of the 6th Annual Down & Derby Party.  The annual event which benefits CHET was scheduled for Sept. 5 at ClaiHill Farm.

“CHET’s first priority is the health and safety of our community.  With the current guidelines set forth by Governor Lee, and the anticipation of the guidelines coming after August 29, it would be virtually impossible to host our event this year,” said Olivia Lobertini, Down & Derby Party Committee Chair.

Lobertini said, “While we are disappointed with this outcome, we appreciate our wonderful sponsors who have continued to support us, even during these unprecedented times.”
