ST. CHARLES – When Pride of the Fox decided to relinquish control and sponsorship of RiverFest, another organization stepped up to helm the annual June event and requested financial support from the city.

But by the time City Administrator Brian Townsend approached aldermen about the request, Pride of the Fox’s executive director had expressed interest to again organize the festival.

“From the city’s position, I don’t think we have a position one way or the other,” Townsend told the Government Operations Committee.
