No more Pioneer Days?!

Well, ye socks, it was brought to my attention today that this year's Pine Castle Pioneer Days festival had to be cancelled due to the ongoing finacial difficulties of the Methodist congregation.

Sad, really.

The church is due a lot of credit for keeping the festival afloat for the last decade or so since the collapse of the local arts center that originally founded it back in 1973.

I suppose it is now time for others to step up to the plate, or risk losing this hallmark of the community . . .
