FUN FEST 2009
AUGUST 7th, 8th and 9th, 2009
|
Immaculate Conception Fun Fest is an annual event that brings together the entire community to celebrate the spirit of Immaculate Conception Parish and School. The success of our largest yearly fundraiser is due in no small part to our valuable volunteers. Literally hundreds of men, women, youth, children and staff members work extremely hard to guarantee this successful fundraiser. As you may already know, our Parish was established in here Columbia Heights in 1923 and the school opened in 1939. Our fall fundraiser began in the late 50’s as the ‘Fall Festival’ and has grown every year since. We consistently draw large crowds from the surrounding area with gross receipts from last year totaling nearly $88,000.00. Our schools’ past alumni list contains many successful individuals: Senator Larry Pogemiller, Anoka County Commissioner Jim Kordiak, film maker Pat Proft, auto dealer Jim Lupient and restaurateur Orest Kramarczuk. We’ve also been blessed by the generosity of the late Rose Totino.

Our Fun Fest includes great food and drink, fabulous live music and entertainment, first-class silent auction, bingo, pull-tabs, raffles and more than a few surprises. Information regarding all Fun Fest events will be published on a regular basis in the church bulletin and on our web site (www.immac-church.org) Leading up to the event, we will also utilize local neighborhood newspapers, community billboards and flyers distributed to local churches and area businesses.
