The Connecticut Post reports that the 14 year old Notre Dame High School Garlic Fest will no longer take place.

The annual garlic festival, founded by Notre Dame's principal the Rev William Sangiovanni, has been scrapped for financial reasons. Over the last few years costs have been rising - $45000 last year before the festival even opened - whilst takings have gone down.

Sangiovanni is reported to be trying to think of other occasions at which he can wear his famous garlic hat.
