The grounds of St. Helen Catholic Church came alive with lights and laughter as folks strolled down the carnival runway during the 57th annual St. Helen Fall Festival, themed this year ‘A Salute to Veterans.’

The fun-filled, family-friendly event featured an array of amusement rides, carnival games, festival food, patron saint drawings, live entertainment, cow patty bingo, an escape room, and a Ladybug Boutique highlighted by handmade wares. The annual festival began at the behest of one of the parish priests who wanted to encourage the church, school and community to connect while also raising funds to support the St. Helen Catholic School.
