St Joe's 60th annual Lawn Fete

By James Burns

The 60th annual Lawn Fete hosted by Resurrection Parish in Batavia is underway. The festival features rides, games, delicious food including a chicken dinner, beer tent with live entertainment and more! Located on the grounds of St. Joseph School on Main and Summit streets.

Last night a portion of Main Street was closed off to traffic in front of St. Joe's for some music and fun with The Hit Men from Rochester featuring Batavia residents.

The Carnival is open Saturday from 1 to 11 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. The carnival features a ride special from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, with unlimited rides for $15. There are home-baked goodies for sale as well as hamburgers, hotdogs, sausage, pizza, fries and of course their famous waffles.

Yea Brian, simple set of rules! If you can read, they are written out pretty easy. I have followed a much broader set of rules racing horses my whole life for NY and other states and they were all presided over by that states gaming commission. When we break the rules we are fined by the gaming commission and have to pay the purse back which is what those guilty of the raffle frauds are lucky that they haven`t had to do as well. I understand that the fire departments are important but that doesn`t give them the right to collect money illegally does it? St. Joe`s seems to be following the rules, why didn`t the rest of them? Someone got greedy.
