We had a TON of fun at our 10th Annual Pinewood Open on Saturday February 11 raising money for Coats for Kids!
I’ve been participating in that event for years, and the excitement and energy from the kids surrounding the track to watch their cars race this year was second to none!
We had some familiar faces and plenty of new faces. We welcomed Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and plenty other children and adults of all ages. It was a great time and I’m already looking forward to next year.

Escanaba KC Council #640 collects nonperishable food at the council’s 5 parishes during Lent from Ash Wednesday thru Easter Sunday to benefit the local St. Vincent de Paul food pantry.
Collection boxes are placed at the entrance of each parish for the weekend Masses. The Knights collected and weighed the cans to qualify for the Food for Families State Program.
On average the council collects nearly 2000 pounds of food for the food pantry.
