Bridgeton Wine and Food Festival postponed

BRIDGETON -- The Bridgeton Wine and Food Festival scheduled for Sunday, April 20, in the city park has been canceled.

It's not canceled for good. It's only been "postponed," according to Bob Crowe, the event's organizer and promoter.

Crowe announced Thursday that recent knee surgery has not allowed him to put enough time and energy into planning the event.

"I am disappointed because I really wanted to do this for the city," he said. "But, in a way, I'm happy, too, because it gives me a whole year to really do it 100 percent. Not that I wouldn't have gone all out (for this year), but this will give me a chance to get more people involved -- more vendors, more sponsors."

Anyone who has already purchased tickets for the April 20 date can receive a refund at the point of purchase.
