The Steering Committee for the St Ives Food and Wine Festival met last week and it has been decided that time will not permit us to reschedule the festival in 2017. We will apply to Council to hold the next festival in September 2018 as March is already busy with both the Bobbo and District Conference and can be too hot. We all share a deep disappointment that our major fundraiser did not proceed and are committed to ensure that the next time we hold this event it will be even bigger and better than we had planned for this March.
