BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Ride for Roswell will not be taking place as scheduled on June 27. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers told WGRZ's Adam Benigni that the Celebration of Hope will not take place on June 26, as well as the Ride itself on June 27. 

Details on a "reimagined" ride for later in the summer will be announced Friday.
