"It's a small community, but a really hardworking one," Saint Gertrude Summer Festival organizer Monica Mercado said.
Vendors and organizers had one goal in mind: raise enough money to do their part in revitalizing Main Street on the east side of the city.
But that's not all they're doing. The weekend-long event was meant to build community, repair the church, and reopen a much-needed school.
The school has been closed for more than two decades. With few options locally on the east side of town, they say the repairs are essential to this community and the next generation.
On top of raising money for a good cause, the church says it's an event to bring the community back together.
"When you're doing something from the heart, you can't mess up. You really can't," Mercado continued.
Event organizers say they'll need to raise nearly $200,000 to make the necessary repairs to their building and reopen the school.
