Ready for some great summer fun? Stop by the Saint Francis family picnic from 1 pm until dusk on Sunday, August 17. Forget about Sunday dinner at home. There’ll be great food to suit everyone’s taste – chicken, kielbasa, hot dogs, barbequed lamb, sausage, kettlecooked corn-on-the-cob, beverages, and more. The afternoon will be filled with entertainment provided by local talent. Visit the country store and the craft shop, and take a chance on one or two of the many specialty gift baskets that’ll be raffled off. A handmade quilt also will be raffled. There’ll be bingo, games of chance, and activities for kids of all ages with plenty of parking. Food and amusement ticket books can be purchased before and after masses (6 pm Saturday evenings or 8 and 11 am Sunday) or at the picnic. We’ll see you at Saint Francis picnic grounds just off Route 88 in Finleyville – everyone is welcome.
