About next year…

</aside>

The Island community has grown the Nanaimo Infusion to a spectacular size, and it’s now grown beyond the means (and energy) Jocelyn and I have to do it on our own next year. (We have day jobs, so most of this planning has been long evenings and weekends.)

But we are talking with a great community group that has experience with these sorts of things, and we hope to pass the reigns off to them for future years. Watch my social media channels for that announcements once we have the details. 🙂
