This annual event is a major part of our parish and community life, and one of the many ways we respond to the Gospel by a life of service.

Our annual festival runs from Friday - Sunday before Labor Day every year. We have lots of fun and exciting things to do!
We have free admission and entertainment all weekend. We have inflatables and a petting zoo from Duke Petting Farms & Carriage Co. of Temperance. We have lots of kids games with great prizes again this year! Back this year is a Watermelon Eating contest on Saturday. And we are hoping to bring in Car Smashing.
Now...we all want to eat at a festival, right? Some of the items we sell in our food booths are: hot dogs, sausages, hamburgers, nachos, sloppy joes, chicken wings, fries, funnel cakes, cotton candy, pop & water, fresh-squeezed lemonade, and ice cream!
We also have 3 dinners: Perch Basket on Friday, Steak Dinner on Saturday and our famous Chicken Dinner on Sunday.
Come on over to the big tent; grab some food, and a cold drink or beer and listen to some music. We have a bit of rock, country, polka music, and our headliners hit the stage at 8:00pm every night.
Visit our main tent on the school side and buy some 50/50 tickets or charity pull-tabs. Don’t forget some main raffle tickets (license number M01403). Our merchants booth is being replaced this year with a Big Bushel Raffle. We have a BINGO and a gambling tent (license numbers V09666 & C29115 respectively). Both are open all three days.
Our annual Panther 5k run was moved to Saturday morning of the festival. Both our craft and car shows are returning for the third year.
And of course, we have Men's and Women's Softball tournament on all three days along with a cornhole tournament on Saturday and Sunday, and 3 on 3 basketball on Sunday.
Call Connie Newell at (419) 340-1893 or the rectory at (734) 848-6125 for more information or to sign up for an activity or tournament.
