Anika Madan, a senior at Sunny Hills High in Fullerton, had a loaded school resume when she applied to six University of California campuses for admission this fall: a 4.6 GPA, 11 college-level courses, student leadership positions and community service building robotic hands for people with disabilities.

“This was not an easy decision for us to make but due to public Health orders changing all the time and the uncertainty of the virus, we can not proceed with this year’s festival,” said Festival Co-chair, Cindy McDonald. “Everything is changing daily and we have no idea what August is going to look like so we kind of decided back in January, but we were just holding off to see what it was going to look like. Unfortunately, yeah, two years in a row which isn’t fun.”
