EVENT INFORMATION
Welcome to the 2020 Mainline Music Festival - Wolseley.
Hello Music Festival Participants and Parents,
It is with heavy hearts that we must cancel the Mainline Music Festival - Wolseley, 2020.Effective March 15, 2020, the Saskatchewan Music Festival Association Board of Directors advised that effective immediately, all festivals for the 2020 season are to be cancelled. This difficult decision was made in order to protect our stakeholders and general population from exposure to COVID-19, and to limit the spread of the virus. Due to the uncertainty of time lines, rescheduling of 2020 festivals will not be possible. SMFA Provincial Finals are also cancelled for 2020.Our Mainline Music Festival – Wolseley board met, and passed the following motion, unanimously:In accordance with the recommendation received on March 15, 2020 from Saskatchewan Music Festival Association, Mainline Music Festival – Wolseley is cancelling the 2020 Festival, which was scheduled to take place Monday, March 23 to Thursday, March 26, and Tuesday, March 31, 2020.Refunds for registration fees will be issued by cheque, if desired. Donations are gratefully accepted, as there are a number of expenses that the Festival has incurred or will still have to pay. Please contact Festival Treasurer, Tim Taylor, by responding to this email with your desired choice, before April 15, 2020.
If you are part of a duo or trio, they may not be receiving this message, because only one email address is associated with each registration. Please forward this message to your duo/trio partners.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours Truly,
Penny Miles,
Corresponding Secretary
