/ .Our annual fall festival is this coming Saturday! So get your crock pot and award-worthy chili recipes ready. We're sprucing up the festival this year. In addition to the chili cook-off contest and the Knights of Columba cooking brats, hotdogs, pulled pork, and side trimmings, we'll have music, a corn-hole tournament, bouncy houses, raffle, and ... the overnight campout returns!

/ . You heard it here: the overnight campout returns this year. ANYONE who would like to camp out individually or as a family is welcome to set up their tent Saturday and plan to stay the night. Children planning to stay should have an adult staying with them (middle and high school teenagers will be part of an EYC camping event and do not have to have a parent/adult stay with them). Don't want to camp outside? That's totally ok -- you can pitch your sleeping bag and air mattress inside in the church! Just remember children preK through 5th grade must have an adult stay with them. Middle/High school teens are welcome to stay as part of the EYC lock-in.

/ . We will wrap up the night will end with a large bonfire and compline, with music led by the EYC. Then as we're settling down for the night, we'll have a large-screen, outdoor movie on the lawn with popcorn and s'mores. The Knights will have breakfast ready for those staying the night as well as those coming for Mass Sunday morning from 8:00-11:00 am.
