St. Joseph’s Catholic Church’s Fish Fry Fridays Return Friday, March 3.
It is that time of year again. Time to enjoy a fish meal each Friday during Lent. Once again Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church and the local Knights of Columbus will be holding their Friday Fish Fries every Friday through April 7. The Fish Fries will be held at the Parish Activity Center (the PAC), 670 West Main Street (behind the firehouse) from 5:30-8 pm.
Meals are $8 for adults, $7 for seniors, $6 for children 12 and under. Besides either two pieces of fried or baked fish (please request the baked fish if you would like it), the adult meal also includes soda or coffee, and two sides–cole slaw, fries, or macaroni and cheese. The child meal includes one piece of fish, two sides, and a beverage. Additionally, you can purchase homemade desserts for a donation that benefits the St. Martin de Porres Society.
Carry out service of the meals is also available.
The St. Joe’s Fish Fry was voted “The Best Fish Fry 2017” by the Catholic Times Fish Fry Guy! Scroll down to pages 17/23 to read the review, which also mentions Lovejoy’s Market! You can also read the review at the bottom of this posting.
So please come out this Friday, March 3, and support the Knights of Columbus. Join them each Friday (March 10, 17, 24, 31 and April 7) throughout Lent (excluding Good Friday on April 14) for a delicious meal and lots of enjoyable socializing with neighbors, friends, and family.

A Night at the Races to Support UPCO on Saturday, April 26.
On Saturday, April 26, gather up all of your family and friends and come on down to the St. Joseph’s Catholic Church Parish Activity Center (the PAC) for a racing spectacular. Located at 670 West Main Street (behind the fire station), the PAC will be the site of a fun evening of horse racing that will benefit UPCO, the Uptown Plain City Organization.
Become a horse owner, name your steed, and listen for the race announcer to call it out. Enjoy the free buffet while betting against your neighbor’s horse. There are a limited number of horses available, so we suggest buying early: $20 per horse!
Costs are: $25 each person or $40 per couple. And if you decide to participate in the races, you can spend $20 per horse you decide to “own.”
There will also be a free buffet and cash bar, an auction race which you can enter to win half the cash, a 50/50 raffle, and lots more fun!
As this is the kickoff day to Kentucky Derby week, there will also be virgin mint juleps and a Best Derby Hat contest. So get those fancy hats out or decorate one to wear.
Tickets and horses may be purchased in person at ASE Seed & Feed, as well as Main Street Treasures. Please note that you do not have to be present at the event to be a winning horse owner.
Online registration is available at uptownplaincity.givezooks.com/events/a-night-at-the-races. Want to print out and mail in your registration? That form is available at uptownplaincityorg.webs.com.
Proceeds go toward Uptown Plain City Organization’s efforts in supporting local businesses and improving the Historic District. Have a question? Please call Shannon at 614-578-9726.

Fourth of July Activities in Plain City.
There are a lot of things going on around the Village for the Fourth of July Celebration. Take advantage of some of these fun activities, all of which are occurring on Sunday, July 4th.
First of all, the Knights of Columbus are opening the parking lot of Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church‘s Parish Activity Center (the PAC) for people to view the fireworks. The PAC is located at 670 West Main Street behind the Firehouse. Admission to park in the lot for the fireworks display is $2 per carload. The lot opens at 3 pm to allow people to begin finding choice parking spots. Food will be served at 5 pm. The Knights will serve a hot dog, chips and a pop for $2.50 per person. There will also be a porta-john on site. The public is welcome to eat and stay to watch the fireworks–and this is an excellent place to see the fireworks with an unobstructed view.
The parade through town will begin at 3:30 pm. The Line up for the parade begins at 2:30. The Jonathan Alder Boys Baseball Team State Champs will be featured as the Grand Marshals of the parade. Come out and cheer for the boys.
Plain City Druggist will be in the parade, as well. Make sure you collect all of our goodies. We’ll be throwing candy, balls, beads, and more. The plastic baggies containing our candy will also feature coupons that can be used in the store. So be on the look out for those.
Following the parade, you can gather in Pastime Park for food, fun, games, music, and finally fireworks at 10 pm. The Little Miss and Mister Contest begins at 5:30. Misfit Toys will perform at 6:30. There will be inflatables for the kids from 4-8 pm, face painting, balloon twisting, and lots more.
One thing we would like to remind everyone about: Please do not bring your pets to the fireworks. More animals are lost during fireworks displays than at any other time of the year. Well meaning dog owners bring their dogs out and the loud noises of the fireworks often scare the dogs and they dart. Animal shelters report an increase in the number of lost dogs that are picked up following fireworks each July 4th. Many of these dogs are never reunited with their owners. So do yourself and your pet a favor and leave them safely at home where they cannot get loose if they become scared.
Additionally, while Monday, July 5th is a federal holiday with banks and the post office closing, Plain City Druggist will be open our normal hours of 9-6 (closed from 1:15-2:15 for lunch).
Have a safe and happy Fourth of July.
