The Morden Corn & Apple Festival is the latest Manitoba event to announce it’s pulling the plug for 2020 due to coronavirus concerns.
This year’s festival was to occur August 28-30, and would have been the 54th in its history. “Cancelling the Morden Corn & Apple Festival is unfortunate, but ultimately with no ability to guarantee the health and safety of the visitors, vendors, volunteers, and residents of Morden, the decision was obvious,” said Executive Director Tim Hodge in a news release.
