LOS FELIZ—This weekend, Our Mother of Good Counsel Parish is hosting their annual fall festival to benefit their church and school. The festival runs from Friday, October 9, to Sunday, October 11.
Our Mother of Good Counsel, or OMGC, is an 80-year-old Catholic institution that boasts a multicultural and involved student body. The school has children in grades from Kindergarten to 8th grade, and their mission is to promote “the growth of faith in Christ, academic excellence, and responsible citizenship”, according to their website. They are known for having many community events on campus, such as “On The Lot”, hosting a weekly array of food trucks in the parish parking lot every Monday night.

The festival will feature live entertainment from local musicians, carnival rides, games, a beer and wine garden with 3 HDTVs for watching sports, and a variety of food vendors, selling Hispanic, Filipino, and American cuisines, as well as snacks and confections. There will also be a student talent show. Raffle tickets will be sold throughout the event, with $5,000 dollars as the first prize, an iWatch Sport as the second prize, and a year of Amazon Prime or Netflix as the third prize.
