Music festival postponed

The Sunbanks Festival that was to have taken place this weekend has been postponed until Oct. 1-4, the resort announced on its website this week. It lists some 17 blues bands lined up for the event, now put off until fall, when Sunbanks had been planning a departure from its decades-long tradition of twice-a-year blues festivals. For this fall, organizers had been lining up folksier and more country offerings, but the blues bands booked for May are now re-invited for October.
