From the meeting
The report said staff may continue a smaller February Winter Market with light entertainment if the main Winter Festival is retired. The market is described as one of the strongest parts of the event and a fundraising opportunity through vendor fees. This points to a narrower community-events program rather than the full winter festival.
The item is still at the planning stage.
