After serving on the com- mittee for the past four years, he feels it is time to have new blood organizing the weekend. Durham Police say there were not too many incidents during the weekend as a result of Festival Days. Police report only one serious charge, when a 19-year-old male from Scugog Island was arrested and charged with as- sault with intent and obstruct- ing police following an incident in the main tent early Sunday morning.
