West Point Sweet Corn Festival       will be canceled for this year     August 13 - 16, 2020

The Sweet Corn Festival Committee (SCFC) met with the rest of the West Point Community Club and discussed the pros and cons of having the festival this year. With the implications created by this year's current state, the current guidelines and ultimately safety of the entire community; the club voted and by vast majority agreed that the event should be canceled until next year (August 2021). This decision does not come easy as the local businesses are affected as well as our loyal carnival supplier. However, taking into account all factors lands on the uneasy decision to cancel. As we rely heavily on volunteering from all willing and able residents, safety comes before cost and adding the risks for our small town members was too much. Whichever side of the fence you stand on, please know the community's safety is what matters most and what drove this unfortunate decision. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Stay healthy and safe, Your SCFC
