The Clarksville Lake Country Wine Festival slated for August 29th has been canceled. The Board of Directors of the Clarksville Chamber of Commerce has decided to cancel the Wine Festival in light of the continuing presence of the COVID 19 virus in Mecklenburg County.  Executive Director Sheila Cuykendall has been working closely with the Health Department and the ABC to make the Festival as safe as possible.   Even though all protocols were followed, the Board felt the risk to the Town and its citizens was too great to take.  Director Cuykendall said “We are very disappointed to be forced to cancel but believe the health and welfare of the Town and all its citizens is a priority now.   We will be back next year with a bigger and better Festival.”
