About 300 area residents frequented the three-day St. Catherine’s Funfest over the Sept. 15-17 weekend, enjoying carnival rides and games, live entertainment, and beverages and food.
Families of St. Catherine Parish and School, 17400 Peak Ave. just outside downtown Morgan Hill, staffed six carnival booths and gave out prizes to patrons, including soccer jerseys and gold fish, as they raised funds for the Catholic institution.
“We use (the carnival) as an opportunity to bring out our parish community, but also as an opportunity to meet the wider Morgan Hill community,” said John Renaldo, business manager for St. Catherine Church.
St. Catherine has been putting on the funfest for more than 10 years, according to Renaldo.
Visitors enjoyed tri-tip sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs and French fries as well as an array of carnival dessert foods.
The main stage provided live entertainment, including showcases from local youth from Music As Language School; mariachis; and cover bands Hat Jammers and Undercover.
