The fair is over, the boats have been blessed and the rides are all packed away.  Hopefully you were able to get out and enjoy the festivities. There were many food vendors, games, and shops set up for the Our Lady of Peace Festival.

They had rides and music, performers and fireworks. There were lots of things to see and to do and to enjoy. We did them all and are left with 1 thought; it sure is loud celebrating Our Lady of Peace
