This year the Festival will have something new!! We are inviting all Parish and community businesses to host a Vendor Booth. We hope you can participate. If you have a home-based business, this is a way to get your message out! We are offering a 10x10 space with a table, two chairs and/or electricity so you can offer our guests a token or service that you have available to them in our area. If you have a product or service that would benefit others, we invite you to attend. If you know of someone that may be interested, please invite him or her to participate as well. For more information, please call the Parish office at 573-358-2112. Your help is always greatly appreciated.

**Festival Attractions**

Our Festival is going to be the most exciting, most spectacular picnic ever. Our rides include a 35x15 slide, a 15x15 Moon Bounce, a 15x15 Ball Pit, and a 40x17 Obstacle Course. Spread the word that the HOTTEST Mechanical Bull Ride on earth is back by popular demand. Grab that cowboy hat and come on over. In addition, we will have an all new rappelling wall and a Washer Tournament.

We invite you to drop by the Bingo tent and win some "back pocket" money and/or some really beautiful quilts from Branson, MO. You will also want to try your luck at the Chuck-A-Luck and the poker tables. We encourage you to purchase raffle tickets – you could win $1,000.00 cash!

Our specialty food chefs will prepare deep fried Oreos and Twinkies for your enjoyment. Our Old Fashioned Country Dinner will again feature the absolute best Fried Chicken, Kettle Beef and Liver Dumplings in Missouri.

Treasure Basket Booth

Come and try your luck at the Treasure Basket Booth. Put your fifty cents on the wheel and spin to choose your basket. Paula Pace has loaded these baskets with treasures from our local merchants. Please join her if you can lend a hand.

Festival Desserts

Help needed! We will need 2 desserts from each parish family for the Festival – pies, cakes, cookies, cupcakes, brownies, etc. Please indicate which desserts are sugar free.

Desserts may be taken to the Church Hall downstairs Saturday evening or Sunday morning. The sharing of your favorite desserts will be greatly appreciated.

Count Down!

We have only one week left to prepare for our Festival! We urgently need your help and appreciate everyone who has signed up to volunteer.
