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!
I’ve never been to that beer garden or any biergarten but happened to purchase a can of “beer” last night that nearly knocked me out. A lager, I guess, 8.1%. Should have been labeled “novice users use extreme caution”.
