St. Luke Roman Catholic Church hosted its 43rd festival for their annual summer celebration event July 8-11 on the church grounds.
Each night featured a different event. Kids Night involved face painting, clowns, a petting zoo and a magician. Other events over the weekend included nightly bingo, Chinese auction, a car show and guest DJs.
The final night of the festival was celebrated by a live performance from REDLINE BAND.
Money raised from the summer celebration will be deposited into the parish fund and used for school and church expenses.
