Fall Fun

When all the Halloween hype has died down, families could sit around and be bored on a Saturday. Or, they could go to the St. Mary/McCormick Fall Festival on Saturday, November 8th, from noon to 3:00 p.m. The festival will be held on the grounds of the St. Mary Catholic Community at 1429 Ballentine Street in the North End of Port Huron, just off 10th Avenue.

The festival is for the whole family. There will be a free bounce house, a free inflatable obstacle course, free face painting with Wonderwolf Entertainment, and tons of free carnival-style games in the classrooms.

Fall Food

Arrive hungry, because there will be seasonal favorites like Cheap Charlie’s Chili, salad, breadsticks, hot dogs, popcorn, and more. Thirsty? Cider and Hot cocoa will be waiting for you. Dessert is extra-special with the Epic Cake Walk, where everyone can win a cupcake, and the luckiest winners will leave with an entire cake.

Early Christmas Shopping

While the kids are having fun playing games and burning off some energy, grown-ups can check out the variety of raffle baskets and silent auction items. There is something for everyone, and it’s a great time to get a jump-start on Christmas shopping.

Big Money Raffle

Along with the gift baskets and auction items, there is a chance to win $3000 with their cash raffle. Tickets are offered for $5 or 5 tickets for $20. They will be sold until the drawing at 2:00 p.m. on November 8th. Winner does not need to be present to win the prize.
