From Applegrove: Pasta Fest postponed
“With great reluctance, Applegrove must postpone Pasta Fest. We were unable to hold it in the previously booked location, and unable to find another appropriate location. We are looking into different events for another time, and are planning an extra special 2012 Pasta Fest.” More news on Applegrove’s website.
