St. Agnes Parish to host Tri-Festa August 23-24
Lots of great events are planned for this year's annual St. Agnes Parish Tri-Festa on Friday and Saturday, August 23-24. The public is invited to attend.
Each of the three components will offer a meal, kids meal, ice cream cart, raffle tickets, and silent auction bidding. Save $5 and purchase a Meal Bundle early for just $30, which will allow you to eat at all threeevents! These can be purchased through the parish office using cash, check or card.
Friday night we'll kick off with dancing under the pavilion, our Cornhole Tournament (register through the office for $10/person or $20/team - prizes to top winners), and a version of our famous Knights of Columbus FISH FRY! No need to wait until Lent begins as fish lovers can stop in August 23rd from 5-7pm (or until sold out, which is known to happen) to enjoy either a baked or fried fish dinner. You'll be hooked! Also enjoy some outdoor games including additional cornhole boards and volleyball.
Saturday dawns another beautiful day from the Lord with a mouthwatering bar of pancakes and french toast, alongside fresh omelets made-to-order and icey juices. At 10am our Baked Goods BINGO gets into full swing. We've had many people excited for this event, and your winning cards are just waiting for their markers.
While brunch is finishing up, we'll start the golfing and outdoor games. See if you can get closest to the golf target, while games of volleyball, bowling, and kiddie yard games are played. Our first annual Pie Baking Contest judging is at 12:30pm; all are welcome to enter. Register for free through the parish office by August 23. We have a stellar, locally-made trophy for the champion!
Pie slice sales will follow judging and the top three winning pies will be sold at the Saturday evening's live auction. If you're craving blue-ribbon winning, homemade and flaky crust, with the most superb pie filling...you can't miss this! Finally, kids bikes and pool package raffle winners will be drawn; every child will receive one free entry. Need not be present to win.
After the Lord's Mass at 4:30pm, we'll begin our final leg of the Tri-Festa. After getting our souls fed, we'll then feed our bellies at the International Dinner. Enjoy sliders, fresh-made egg rolls, Tiramisu, and more (all food items available while supplies last). The silent auction baskets begin closing shortly before our LIVE Auction begins at 7pm.
Item lineup includes a whole Champion Blue Ribbon Winning Pie, hayride/bonfire/picnic for 15 people, golfing package, Frankenmuth overnight, Party Package for rollerskating/bumper cars/laser tag, rare bourbon set, Lions/Tigers/Red Wings tickets, date night (with babysitting), Wharton Center play tickets, a bass fishing trip, and more! Register for a bidder number and you'll be entered for a chance to Pie the Priest! Can't make the live or silent auctions? No problem! Contact the parish office to enter your bids and we'll do the work for you.
After the live auction, we'll (drumroll) draw our 15 winners of our BIG RAFFLE! The night will close with our beloved priest courageously getting a pie (or two...) to the face, all in the spirit of joyful fun and support for our beloved community and parish. Prayers and thanksgiving to our current 92 DONORS and the many, many hands that are volunteering to make this yearly event possible. We appreciate such a supportive community, and welcome you all to our family fun this August 23-24th.
