The parish sell their wares while the scouts work the hot dog and Pepsi stand.
Our wonderful cooks work hard to keep up with the hungry crowd.
The music was enjoyed by all.

The Men's Club hosted the Dice Game while the little men fish in the duck
pond.
The festivities drowned out the sounds of tornado sirens early
in the evening but we were assured that our location was safe.
However, a short time later the clouds burst and rain flooded out our party for
the first time in twenty-five years.
The party goes on......
Monsignor Vann and the committee decide to continue the next day with available
rides and limited games.
News releases were sent out about our change in plans. TV-20 stopped by to
film our recovery efforts.
Thank you to all of the volunteers who showed up to work the game booths!
The support of everyone who came out to help and to enjoy another night of fun
was greatly appreciated.
By the end of the evening the grill sold out and the prizes disappeared.
Paul Wappel, our Garden Party chairman, evidently didn't get wet enough on
Wednesday evening.
Our hard-working grounds crew tear down after another year.
But wait..... it's not over.
The 80th Annual Garden Party is only a year away and the Garden Party committee
is already making plans to celebrate this milestone.
