St. Patrick's Episcopal Church Kicks off it's Harvest Fest

    St. Patrick's Episcopal Church in West Monroe held it's Harvest Fest, Saturday afternoon.

    The vendors hosted booths, selling everything from baked goods, to plants and jewelry.

    The church hosts the event, every year to raise money for mission trips, donations to the Salvation Army, as well as housing hurricane victims in past years. It also brings church members together.

    Church members say it's sort of become a family reunion for the members of the church. They spend the whole day out at this event, with plenty of time to sit, visit and catch up with others and some of old friends in the community.

    Organizers say this year's event had the highest turnout in 20 years.
