Area Faith Community Upcoming Festivals

Several events are coming up next month in the Area Faith Community which encompasses the parishes of St. Philip’s in Litchfield, St. John’s in Darwin, the Church of St. Anthony in Watkins and the Church of Our Lady in Manannah. The first event will be the Bazaar and Car Show at St. Philip’s Catholic Church in Litchfield on September 7th from 9-to-1.

Monica Schreiber says the Litchfield Eagles Club will partner with St. Philip’s Church again this year with beverages for the Bazaar; Glen Everhart will return to provide musical entertainment; and the 20th annual car show will take place. She says people may enter their car or get more information by calling Ashley Huhn at 701-238-1975.

Schreiber says there will be all kinds of food at the St. Philip’s Bazaar for breakfast and lunch including Mexican food, the Knights of Columbus with hamburgers and chicken, and dessert booths with donuts, pie, ice cream, root beer floats, and popcorn; and a farmer’s market, games and more.
