As COVID-19 ramifications continue to affect each and every one of us, it's heartwarming to see photos of positive moments during turbulent times that include social distancing, school and business closures, and much more.
In spite of the dire situation outside, families, businesses and organizations are making the best of it from the inside, proving that people are still finding ways to live life in spite of uncertain times.
We encourage readers to submit photos of what they are doing during the COVID-19 pandemic to travis.grimler@pineandlakes.com so we can share them.
