July 4th in St. Joe Does Include Parade and Raffle
We have seen most everything cancelled in the last year, and then some. This includes the normal festivities that happen in St. Joseph on the 3rd and 4th of July. Normally Joe Town Rocks kicks off on July 3rd with live music and some food and vendors around the Church of Saint Joseph. This year it has been announced that Joe Town Rocks will be cancelled again. But that doesn t include EVERYTHING.
Right now you can purchase raffle tickets for the raffle that will take place on Facebook Live July 4th. The tickets are for sale now from any of the Church of Saint Joseph parishioners, or at the parish office on Mondays from 8:30-4:30pm, Tuesdays from 9am to 2:30pm or Thursdays from 8:30-4:30pm. The list of prizes of fairly extensive, including Grand Prize of $5000 cash from anonymous donors. You can see the list here.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, over a year ago, everything was postponed or cancelled. This included a lot of anticipated concerts. One of which was the Stadium Tour at US Bank Stadium. The Stadium Tour includes Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett. It s been postponed at least twice, and now they have pushed it to August of 2022. I suppose this way they figure it s enough time for people to feel more secure as they make plans for an inside concert. Especially one at US Bank Stadium which could have upwards of about 70,000 fans in attendance.
