The St. Helen’s Harvest Festival took on a new look this year. The church traded in what would have been its 56th fall festival at the Jackie Robinson Training Complex for St. Helen’s Outdoor Movie Nights, a multi-evening triple feature affair held on the St. Helen’s Field.
“The Wizard of Oz,” “Jumanji” and “Dolittle” rolled across the big screen as familial groups snuggled under blankets in their own socially distanced movie boxes – a pandemic revamping of an old-fashioned drive-in movie.
But some favorite carnival foods were continued, the scents of popcorn, cotton candy and corn on the cob wafted through the air, along with steamy goodness from boxed dinners.
Adding to the excitement was a nightly drawing of the Patron Saint Raffle. Proceeds from the annual event support the St. Helen Catholic School.
