The Festival Committee, through its ongoing planning efforts for future Festival events, has decided to take an extended period of time to plan the next Binder Twine Festival. The Committee has decided that it will take the balance of 2019 and the months leading up to the 2020 Festival to plan the next Festival event. There will not be a 2019 edition of the Binder Twine Festival.

The Festival has gone through some significant changes over the past two years in an effort to generate some renewed interest and opportunities for the community. As part of an ongoing effort to further improve the Festival and to ensure that there is an appropriate amount of time to consider new and creative ways to reinvigorate the Festival AND to secure a reliable and ongoing source(s) of funding, the Committee has elected to place the 2019 festival on hiatus and re-introduce the Kleinburg and Area Binder Twine Festival for 2020.

The Committee will continue to meet monthly over the next year and a half so a “new and improved” Festival can commence once again.

We look forward to bringing the Festival back better than ever, to re-engage the community and generate the volunteer support that is needed to sustain the Festival, and to continue to fulfill our mandate…”To hold an annual village Festival with related activities and to distribute the funds so raised throughout the community”.

See you in 2020!

Sincerely,
Kleinburg and Area Binder Twine Festival Committee
