Trocial Storm Hanna has caused the task force to reschedule Canal cest
Unfortunately, thanks to weather conditions, canal fest this weekend has been pushed back to November 1, 2008. Thanks to Hanna coming up the coast, the event would be extremely rainy and the community would likely not show up in full force. Tina posted on Worcesterite.com the following:
The Canalfest Committee met and due to the threat of being over taken by one of these ominous storms, we have made a unanimous decision to postpone Saturday’s CanalFest. We will not be hosting it for Saturday 9/6/08
Further, you can find the article in the T & G (Worcester, MA’s local paper), the following:
The storm’s gusty winds and bands of rain prompted organizers of Worcester’s CanalFest to postpone tomorrow’s event until Nov 1. Fireworks at the Sterling Fair were also rescheduled. They will be at 9:45 tonight instead of tomorrow night.
So, unfortunately all of the hype and anticipation must continue to build, as tomorrow will not hold that which we were hoping to attend any longer.
DAMNIT. I guess it will still be fun, and the fact that it will be the day after halloween may make this a completely different festival. I’m still going, but I wish this weather stuff sucks!
Canal fest is going to better at union station anyway. The thing is, yeah, harding st is fine, but now even if it does rain on November 1, there will be places for people to go and still have a good time. Outside is fun, but inside is fine too. Will there be beer at this thing?
