FAITH FEST
Families And Individuals Together in
Highland
Fri. night & Sat. ~ June 19 & 20
Held at the Highland Village Park, 755 Park St.,
Highland
Thank
You
We would like to thank the FAITH
Fest Chairpersons for all the time spent organizing and working at
FAITH Fest last weekend: Amy Bomkamp, Delores Eggers, Ginger Halverson,
Linda Hebgen, Holly Laufenberg, Al McCarthy, Steve & Joan McGuire, Kim
Mensch, Doug Oleson, Sharon Olson, Laurie Pustina, Tom & Lisa Riley & Beth
Skala. We were a little apprehensive about the weather on Friday night
when FAITH Fest began but managed to get in one game of kickball and one
game of baseball before more rain fell. Saturday, we were blessed with
super weather! Thirty-five “walkers” joined us for the Walk/Run. There
were lots of ballgames that involved young people and their families.
Delicious food was served from the concession stand all weekend long. The
kid’s games were really fun – did you check out the kid’s tractor pull
that was new this year? We served around 50 meals in the church lower
level at 5:30 p.m. The workers, the crowd and music were delightful.
Thank you
everyone for your donations of brownies, soda, bottled water,
hamburger and ice cream. Workers, we thank you for giving of your
time during the weekend. We appreciate the families that called or
emailed to let us know that they could not work their assignment – they
didn’t want to be a “no show”.
We sold 1117 raffle tickets – thanks to our parishioners who purchase
the large percentage of the raffle tickets. Thank you to the many
people who gave monetary donations to the FAITH Fest event - all
proceeds from this event go toward the Religious Education program here at
the parish. Also, thank you to the National Catholic Society of
Foresters for co-sponsoring this event with matching funds up to $500.
