The Words on the Water writers’ festival and Dancing and Tapas Rotary fundraiser are the two latest events to fall victim to COVID-19 precautions.
The Words on the Water festival for 2020 has been cancelled.

We will be refunding tickets. More details about refunds to com,”said Dana Mills one of the festival organizers.
