We are very sad to announce that due to the forecast of significant rain for our region on Sunday, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Georgetown Canal Day.
Thank you to our sponsors and host committee for their support, and to our amazing volunteers for their hard work in planning this event. Stay tuned for exciting updates about the Canal Boat return coming soon!
