2010 St. Mary FunFest

August 19-22

Games * Rides * Food * Drinks * Live Music 

This year’s FunFest work is well underway, with some fresh, new changes planned to complement the outstanding events of the past.  Following recent tradition, we will kick off this year’s festivities with a 5K run through Hyde Park on Thursday, August 19^th, and then get into the full swing of things Friday, August 20^th through Sunday, August 22^th. 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Each year, St. Mary relies on the time and talents of individual parishioners to help make the FunFest successful.  This year alone, we will need approximately 4,000 hours of volunteer time during the week of the festival, so we will again be utilizing an online volunteer signup system that will help to ensure that everything goes smoothly.  This year’s software is new and significantly improved – faster response times and the ability to see all open shifts and times.  To volunteer, just follow the link below and choose the day/time/activity that best suits your interest and schedule.

Also, since we have added some new booths this year, we are in need of a few booth chairs that can help set up and manage volunteers.  If you are interested in one of these important positions, please let us know by email at festival.chairs@yahoo.com. 

Thanks in advance for making this year’s FunFest as enjoyable and successful as those past.
