The St. Vitus Parish Big Festival of 2012 is history. We were blessed by fantastic weather. In pastorspeak, that means there was no threat of rain to dissuade parishioners, neighbors and friends from coming onto our church grounds. The festival committee worked very well together to tweak a good program and make it better. Our sponsorships were up, our Kiddieland was rejuvenated, Joe and his hard-working kitchen cooks brought out some new items, and the grounds were alive all four evenings. (To those who laughed at my idea to add salads to our menu, I can only say, haha! We sold out all salads every night.) And who knows how important the Baby Doll Dance on Thursday was to our attendance! What a show!
I was able to report to parishioners at Masses on Sunday, August 5, that a preliminary financial report showed our gross receipts were up a huge 33% over last year. We'll post a full financial report in a few weeks, after all the bills are paid, but the one bill I have is a gigantic debt to our veteran and almost four dozen new volunteers who made the St. Vitus Parish Big Festival the success it was.
Let's do it again next year, bigger and better!
