The Church of the Sacred Heart will host its annual parish festival Aug. 23 on the church grounds, 2875 10th Ave. NE, Sauk Rapids.
The city council approved the permit for the event at its June 22 meeting.
The festival will have lots of kids’ games, as well as a country store where people can buy jewelry and other goods. It will also feature music and such games of chance as turkey-and-ham bingo and raffle items.
This is a large fundraiser for the parish, bringing in a net take of about $58,000-$70,000 during the past three years, according to the church.
The parish is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar expansion project it hopes to complete by spring 2016.
