Come enjoy the fun, food and entertainment this weekend at
the Saint Patrick Fall Festival
Saint Patrick Parish will be holding their annual Fall Festival September 20 – 22. The three-day festival is packed with activities for the whole family. The festival kicks off at 5pm on Friday. On Friday night guests are invited to enjoy a bowl of booya and settle in for an evening of comedy. Local comedians take the stage at 7:30 and nationally renowned comedian, Scott Novotny comes on at 8:30. Scott brought down the house last year with his wry, comedic, take on everyday situations and events. His unique, family-friendly, stand-up comedy routine is sure to be a hit again this year.
Saturday is packed with activities, starting with the 5k race at 9am (registration is on Friday night and Saturday morning beginning at 7:30 am). There’s also a kid’s ½ mile race that begins at 10:15. Saturday’s activities include: kids’ games and crafts, a fair hair booth, inflatables, an appearance by the August Blues Band, the dunk tank, a euchre tournament, the talent show, pony-wagon rides, a soccer challenge, and the punt, pass and kick skills competition, a silent auction, the country store, judging for the dessert auction, raffle ticket sales, the food and beer tent that features the ever popular, fried cheese curds. Food and entertainment once again take center stage on Saturday night as the parish hosts their first ever, authentic, Greek Chicken Dinner. OPA!
