Change is an inevitable event. Some changes are difficult to adjust to while others are fun! The festival has been a success for all the years it has been happening. That is not the reason for the changes. Things get old and stagnant, boring, “same old, same old” sort of thing. So…that led to the changes that are happening this year!
The first change is the date of this year’s Fall Festival - SEPTEMBER 18th and 19th. Wow! A whole month earlier because we’re hoping for better weather, more plants and produce to sell and still have time to plan.
We will be moving a lot of the events outside this year, including games, plants and produce booths and the food stand. Moving the games outside gives us the opportunity for different games that FAMILIES can enjoy together: free throw contests, hula hoop contests, fill the glass with a teaspoon game (don’t know what you call it!). Some of the old games might hang around but we’re adding more fun and family. We think this will be a good change!

While folks are shopping for produce and trying their waist at the hula hoop (can’t wait to see CF in one!), they can stop off for a short break and have a cob of corn. YES a real corn roast along with soda AND beer and the old brats and burgers with all the fixings. Let’s just call it a tailgate party since the Packers are playing the Bills at noon.

A lot of changes are coming to the festival - good changes and fun changes. A lot of time and effort is put in to this event every year by a lot of people. I hope our changes this year will make it an even better success and more fun for the family. See you in September!

Vessel of Clay: The Inspirational Journey of Sister Carla
Thursday, August 12, 6:30PM, St. Mary Parish Center Community Room.
Join us on August 1 as we remember the life and work of Sr. Carla (Carol)l Piette, a native of Appleton and daughter of St. Mary Parish. Sr. Carla, a Maryknoll missionary, died on August 23, 1980 in El Salvador. One of her last acts was to push Sr. Ita Ford to safety just before her jeep was swept away in a flood. In El Salvador she is known as a “Martyr of Charity.” This presentation will be given by Jackie (Hansen) Maggiore, her childhood friend and the author of a recent book on Carla’s life.
Please pre-register by calling Carol at 739-5119 or by e-mailing: cjensen@stmaryparish.org
A free will offering will be taken.
