SYLVANIA, OH (Toledo News Now)- There's
more to enjoy this year at the St. Joseph Catholic Church's Festirama in
Sylvania.

The
event is now staged on two sides of Main Street. The rides are still next to
the church, but adult activities, such as the beer and food tents, have been
moved across the street.

"We
wanted to add more rides for the kids and increase the area where we all stand
around and enjoy each other's company," said Chairwoman Brenda Boudrie. "It's a
great event for our parish and a great gathering for everybody."
