FunFest 2018
Our parish festival will be held this year on Friday, June 15th and Saturday, June 16th. This is a change in dates from recent festival dates. The festival committee decided to change our dates from the second to the third week in June for two reasons. First, these dates do not coincide with other festivals on the south side of Indianapolis. Secondly, it is hoped that by returning to the two-date format we will have sufficient volunteer help to staff the various festival booths without overworking our volunteers.
The St. Mark Festival will have your favorite foods, drinks and activities of year’s past. There will be barbeque and fried chicken
dinners, grilled sandwiches and corn, ethnic foods and elephant ears. There will be soft drinks, beer, and wine available. There will
be children’s activities, games of chance and live entertainment, including sounds from the Third Generation band and the Jazz
sounds of Ray Cumberland and others. Once again there will be a main raffle and a handmade quilt raffle.
In order to make this festival happen in a safe and enjoyable environment, your help is needed.
How you ask? Here are several ways you can help to ensure that the St. Mark Festival of 2018 is a roaring success.
First, be sure to attend the festival and participate in its many activities. However, we also need everyone to volunteer to staff the
festival booths. We will have two sign-up weekends to assist you in selecting just the right spot for you and your family to staff a
booth or booths. The first sign-up dates will by May 19th and 20th after all the weekend masses.
Another way you can assist with our festival is by donation of soft drinks, bottled water, and glassware. These items can be dropped
off in the narthex.
If it is easier for you to make a cash donation, it will greatly defer the cost of the above items and/or kegs of beer for the beer tent.
As parishioners of St. Mark, we are all in this together. Please help out in any way you are able. The festival committee thanks you
for any assistance you can provide.
ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS! If you own or operate a business, St. Mark’s Community Festival is an opportunity to let the
parish and local community learn about your special products or service.
Be a sponsor for the annual Community Festival and receive parish closed-circuit TV, web site, Facebook ads, and/or signage mounted in a festival booth the weekend of June 15th and 16th. Contact Sponsorship Co-Chair Carolyn Bundy, 317-694-4065 for more information.
DONATIONS: Those wishing to donate items for the Take-A-Chance Booth, please contact Mame Johnson, mejohs1@yahoo.com
or 317-850-5211.
