ST. THOMAS — Following much discussion and deliberation, the membership of the St. Thomas-St. John Agriculture and Food Fair Committee has made the decision to cancel the 33rd Annual Agriculture and Food Fair based on logistical and numerous other challenges, a press release the organization recently issued has made known.
The cancellation comes just one week after the event rained out; a that time, the organization said it would meet to discuss plans to possibly reschedule the event, as well as meet with vendors for their ideas. A new meeting has been scheduled with the vendors to discuss related concerns and plans for moving forward, according to the release.
The release states that the members of the organizing committee regret the hardship and inconvenience faced by everyone. “We appreciate the patience and continued support of our vendors, sponsors, and the community in general,” it reads.
The annual fair is sponsored by the St. Thomas-St. John Agriculture and Food Fair Committee in partnership with the University of the Virgin Islands Cooperative Extension Service, Virgin Islands Department of Agriculture, V. I. Council on the Arts and the National Endowment of the Arts, Fintrac and volunteer community members.
