St. Francis/Holy Ghost drew big crowds over the weekend for their annual Harvest Fest.
Leaf Lorton, Harvest Fest committee co-chair, said its always a great weekend as they celebrated the 24th year of the festival.
With plenty of activities for kids, music, food and raffle prizes there was something fun for everyone.
“It’s really about the families and the kids,” Lorton said. “We’re having a bags tournament for the kids, Ferguson Autobody put together gaga ball for the kids. The food’s always delicious, the Harvest Fest stew, sweetcorn, meat, everything you want.“
Lorton also took a moment to express appreciation for all the Harvest Fest sponsors. He said the event wouldn’t be what is without their help.
“It’s really about the families and the kids,” Lorton said.
With the generosity and support of attendees and sponsors the event has continued to grow over the years to help benefit the school.
“It’s huge, last year we were able to give the school $160,000,” said Lorton.
