Feast of the Assumption

MECHANICVILLE AUGUST 15 & 16- This year the Feast of the Assumption was expanded from one day to two. The extra day enhanced the Feast, it did not detract. Volunteer Jan Sylsvester reported that the Feast ran out of food on 7:30 Friday night. A total of 120 lbs. of dough had to be purchased just for the fried dough. Old favorite La Banda Rossa performed on Friday night. After 3 PM Friday Mass the Procession made its return this year.
