Fall Fest brings fun, laughter and community spirit to St. Coletta’s

Inflatable games, pumpkin decorating and new pavilion make this year's celebration extra special

Laughter filled the air as students and adult participants from St. Coletta’s school and CDS program enjoyed a variety of games and activities at this year’s Fall Fest. From inflatable basketball and bowling to pumpkin decorating, face painting and music, the day was full of fun and community spirit.

The Social Services department fired up the grill, serving delicious hamburgers, while volunteers from All Saints Lutheran Church helped manage activity stations, ensuring everyone had a memorable experience.

A highlight of the day was St. Coletta’s new pavilion, which offered a shaded, comfortable space for participants and guests to relax and enjoy the festivities. This addition, made possible by generous donor support, played a key role in enhancing the day for all.
