From staff reports
St. Michael’s in Fryburg will hold its annual Labor Day picnic from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (rain or shine) on Monday, Sept. 5, at St. Michael Church hall and grounds.
Families have come to St Michael’s for over 130 years to celebrate the holiday. Finish out your summer season in Fryburg with great food and fun.
Enjoy the picnic’s famous chicken and ham dinners featuring delicious homemade noodle soup. Dinner ticket sales will start on the grounds at 10 a.m. with the dining room opening at 11 a.m.
Back again is the 100-item Chinese auction held in the upstairs of the church social hall as well as the long-awaited return of the Quilt Raffle Stand on the picnic grounds.
One of the top prizes in the Chinese auction is a $250 gift card given by Faller’s Furniture in Clarion. The Quilt Stand will feature several beautiful quilts made by members of the St. Michael Rosary Society as well as throw blankets displaying a stunning image of St. Michael’s Church.
Games of chance and skill for all ages will be held throughout the day along with numerous raffles including the Farm-to-Table raffle with over 40 prizes and the ever-popular Labor Day Loot Ticket, featuring cash prizes totaling $7,000.
Labor Day Loot raffle tickets and Farm-to-Table raffle tickets are available for purchase at various local businesses as well as at the doors of both St. Michael’s Church in Fryburg and St. Joseph’s Church in Lucinda.
Online sales will be available until 11:59 p.m. Sept. 2. Tickets will also be available at the picnic.
All proceeds from this year’s Labor Day picnic benefit the ongoing upkeep and maintenance of the parish’s beloved stone church completed in 1886.
The members of St. Michael’s parish sincerely thank the many businesses and organizations who sponsored the 2022 Labor Day Loot ticket and Farm-to-Table ticket. Please remember to support these businesses as they give support to our communities.
