ST. HELEN – Hundreds of people came to St. Helen June 17-19 for the Annual Bluegill Festival at the Richfield Township Park.
Events included a carnival midway, softball battle between the students and teachers, parade, food and more. Although it rained part of the weekend, it didn’t put too much of a damper on the festivities.
