The Duck Tape Facebook page also posted a video about the festival coming to an end saying, “For nearly 20 years, Duck brand has been proud to serve as the lead sponsor of the Avon Heritage Festival. The planning committee of local volunteers has decided to step down from organizing the event, and as a result, the festival has come to an end. Although this beloved event is closing the curtain, we are thankful for the memories made and the strong sense of community we’ve felt through our involvement over the years!”
