Apple Blossom Festival fight

Kentville Mayor Sandra Snow has taken off the gloves to fight the Apple Blossom Festival Board’s decision to move the parade to new Minas.

Snow told the Kings County register there’s been a duplicitous and malicious effort by the board against her town despite attempts by Kentville to amend agreements on support for the festival. The town is still waiting for a response from the Festival Board to its latest offer.

Snow says the Festival Board has also indicated it wants to move the children’s parade, street dance and fireworks to other communities.
