The months of planning, cooking, building booths, organizing entertainment, and gathering volunteers paid off last weekend with another successful Archangel Gabriel Parish Nationality Festival. Thank you to co-chairs Tim Davis and Karl Foerster for their hard work organizing this event, and congratulations on the success of the new Oktoberfest Experience. Thank you to the volunteers who have been shopping, cooking, and planning menus for months. Thank you to the volunteers who helped with the set-up, running, and clean-up of the booths. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to pull together the raffles and other fundraising efforts. Thank you to all of our sponsors. Thank you to everyone who donated baked goods to the Cookie Table and to everyone who donated gift cards, baskets, and lottery tickets. Finally, a very special thank you to all of those who attended and supported the Nationality Festival and who, most importantly, contributed to a feeling of community and fellowship. And thank you to anyone else who had a hand in this event. We appreciate your contributions to not only the Festival but to the parish community.
