Were has the summer gone. The PC Fair was held this past weekend. Thank you to all the volunteers who stepped up to help out with a shift or two at this great event. Thanks to Tim Wilson for his leadership of the event this year. With the addition of the concrete pad, the fair food booth looked great. Below are some pictures of the shifts and volunteers working together for such a great event.
In preparation for this year’s fair, the team decided that we should put in a concrete pad under the awning and up toward the door, remove the old broken asphalt and clean up around the food booth. Thanks to Scott Bjork for heading up the concrete pad for Food Booth. Thanks to High Quality Equipment Rental in Roberts for allowing the use of their equipment and also to all the members who came down on June 24th to help out and get the area ready for the concrete.
Concrete Pad poured and curing. Great job and thanks to Tim Wilson, Scott Bjork and Cole and Charlie from Craft Concrete and Landscaping for donating their time and expertise putting down the new concrete pad at the Fair booth.

Wow! What a year at this year’s Fair. The weather was wonderful, we had a great group of volunteers from the Parish, School, Youth group, Martha’s quilters and Women’s Ministry. Thank you to all who came out and helped with a shift and spent time in fellowship each other. We had a very successful year this year. The pork chops on a stick were a really big hit as we sold out on Saturday evening and had to get more for Sunday. A good problem to have. May God bless each of you for all you do an all you are.

This year was another successful fundraiser for the Council. Thanks to all our wonderful volunteers from the Parish, School and our members for signing up for one or more shifts. The fair presented some challenges with stormy weather on Friday night, but it passed through fairly quickly and we were busy shortly afterwards again. A lot of socialization during the time spent together in the food booth along with raising money for good causes.

Our Fair food booth. Located on the grounds of the Pierce County Fair grounds. We prep the facility for the weekend with the help of our members and faith formation team to clean up and get everything lined up to sell food during the fair weekend. Our largest fundraiser that we take as an organization where the funds we raise help us to provide charitable donations to our Parish, individuals, and local organizations such as the River Falls Food Pantry, Options for Women and others.
Over the years, the Council has sold a variety of products at the fair, including brats, hot dogs, queens apples, loaded baked potatoes, grilled pork chops, Ellsworth Cheese Curds, French fries, funnel cakes, slushies, coffee, soda and water to name just a few. In the past two years we have cut down on the menu options, but have been successful in raising funds to support our charitable giving. We have a lot of fun, while at the same time do some work in the process. Below are photos of setup, cooking and fair participant’s enjoying the food items.
2023 Work Crew. In June 2023, Council members got together at the food booth to do some retrofit of the booth. They took out the old grill used to fry the pork chops and replaced it with a new one. Removed the stove and a refrigerator, and added stainless steel counters along the wall next to the new pork chop fryer. The center counter was cut down a little to make some room to extend the warmer for the cheese curds and funnel cakes to allow for the addition of a second funnel cake fryer. Thanks to Brothers Scott Bjork, Scott Lindall, Tim Wilson, B.J. Grant and Dave Andrea.
