Things looked a little different from years past at the 16th annual Cape Parks and Recreation Spaghetti Day on Thursday, Nov. 5 at the Arena Building in Cape Girardeau. Due to COVID-19, there were face coverings and social distancing measures such as marked waiting spots and separated round tables. For lunch, the options were delivery, carry-out and dine-in. For dinner, there was curbside service, carry-out and dine-in. The event is the Parks and Recreation Department’s biggest fundraiser of the year.
