The Festival is Over

In the end, friction between the organizations won out over good will. The attempts at creating a consortium were to no avail. What is responsible for the failure? Some believed it was attributable to the interference of the ACF, others to the lack of leadership in the CCF. Whichever it was, vital players in the community were weary of the battle, threw in the towel in 2004, and dropped the Fête fransaskoise. Others kept up the hope of reviving it.
