Yes, we have the “Sausage Fest” here in late September and the nonparishioner attendance is very good. Have yet to witness an altercation in all these years but demographics are different here. The elephant ears are excellent, games are entertaining, and the women run a thrift shop in the parish school.
Somewhere in time and space...Beavis and Butthead are laughing.
We have a festival that has been largely a parishioner event, but they’re trying to increase outside attendance. We’re in a bit of an isolated location, so it’s not something the general public notices.
Everything’s been peaceful all along for us, too, even with the Knights selling beer. The ethnic food booths are a big success: our Mexicans and South Americans can really cook!
