Lewis & Sears replace Trish Smith, who was the event manager for the past 5 years. “The Parksville Beach Festival Society is delighted to welcome Susan and Wendy to this position. Drawing from rich experience and understanding of events, they will add their own stamp to our world class event, maintaining the integrity and reputation while helping us grow responsibly,” said President, Cheryl Dill. “We have been very pleased with Trish’s contributions and wish her well in her full-time employment at Vancouver Island University” says Dill.
“We are thrilled to be associated with an event of this calibre that gives back to the community we live in” said Wendy Sears. “As the event moves into its 34th year it will be a great opportunity to get involved and implement some fresh ideas to ensure the continued success of this well-established event.”
