How do you cancel a whole town?

If my grandfather was alive he'd be sad to learn his hometown had been canceled.

I'd be OK with that.

Too bad about Lowell, but from what I hear Harvard is a great venue for the MA state championship.

From the organizer:

The entire Rib ‘N Brews Festival was cancelled, not just the BBQ contest. There was reorganization at City Hall, and it appears they decided that the Festival was too marginal financially. It was not a money loser, just not profitable enough to justify the amount of volunteer labor used.
