It turned out to be a great weekend for the Parish Festival. The weather cooperated and plenty of people came to enjoy the food, fun, and fellowship. The troop along with other parishioners provided many hours of service to make the festival a success. Things really began Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings as we moved all the gear that makes up the festival out of storage. We also setup the booths, tents, and put supplies in the right location. Friday night turned into a long evening as we helped build an attractive sign to advertise a chance to win a new car. Pizza was provided by Augies to curb our appetite after a hard days work. Some members camped out both Friday and Saturday evening. To start off the festival on Saturday we joined in a short parade and then served as color guard during the opening flag ceremony. Then it was time man Arnold's Ice Cream Parlor and work some of the attractions. We also hosted several field games for the younger crowd. The Water balloon toss was a bit hit. On Sunday morning the troop attended early morning mass and then went to work on various projects. Our job as the Assumption Church corn shuckers went off in record time. Camp was taken down and people could either stay and continue helping out at the festival or head on home for some well deserved rest. Providing help and assistance this year were Alex, Chris, David D., DJ, Donald, Eric, Jacob D., Justin, Joey J., John, Jordan, Kevin, Kurtis, Kyle, Matthew O., Nate, Steven J., Mr. Makowski, Mr. Svihlik, and Mrs. Verhovnik.

Plan for Parish Festival

The Church of the Assumption Festival is a great opportunity for the troop to give back to our Charter Organization. Volunteering at the Festival will also qualify as service hours toward Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge. As a troop we will be helping out with setup, the ice cream booth, field games, and other tasks. The SPL is handling volunteer assignment and sign-up. Please talk with him to pick your slot. Anyone interested can spend Friday and Saturday night camping on the parish grounds provided you bring your own tent.

UNIFORM: We will be wearing both Class "A" and Class "B" uniforms throughout the weekend. Class "B" is either Troop 810 T-shirt or Summer Camp T-shirt and scout shorts. This is a must for showing off our troop and allowing other festival workers an easy way to identify us. Bring along an extra scout T-shirt for Saturday evening.
