One of Lacombe’s festivals will not be held this year.
Lacombe Regional Tourism has withdrawn from the Culture and Harvest Festival held annually at the Lacombe and District Agricultural Grounds in late September.
City council directed administration to take no action regarding the festival during their April 14th meeting.
The other two options would have been for administration to create a project plan or to find a community partner to sponsor the event.
Councilor Scott Dallas voiced his opinion on the cancellation.
“Without the Culture and Harvest Festival taking place, there will still be events taking that place.
“It won’t drop off the map completely and there would still be attractions for the community with some of the other (events).”
City council also directed administration to seek a community partner to offer the Canada Day fireworks display taking place at Cranna Lake.
The $6,000 price would fund the associated costs for the show.
